Just heard someone on USAF AMC Command (349.400) That I thought was a RHINO flight, but I didn't catch the full call.

That's their OPS freq. I think I heard it also, but it was a little weak.

Thanks. I'll try that next time. RHINO 10 keeps dropping off the map.

They don’t fly multi-ship sorties, so they rarely talk to each other. I hear them coordinate on 349.400 from time to time.
