NO that's only their own discrete UHF air to air comms frequency; only one of them ever talks to ATC on a different frequency which can be VHF or UHF then relays any message to the rest on the air to air frequency eg at 2 minutes to end of display, the communicator (one of the singletons usually) will call ATC on the display frequency to request wind and formation landing clearance then he returns to the air to air frequency until he lands when he will request taxy instructions.
