Reach as 'Low Cost End' advised is AMC of the USAF. Normally they are a C-5 Galaxy transport aircraft, sometimes, but not that often now they can be a C-141 Starlifter.....

Cheers

'Reach' is the generic callsign of any aircraft operating within, or on behalf of, Air Mobility Command of the USAF. It is not tied to any particular aircraft type. It can also be used by combat aircraft when accompanied by AAR tankers during the deployment phase of overseas operations or exercises, in exactly the same way as 'Ascot' is used by UK military aircraft.
