130's can also have the Reach call sign. Rocket was right in that it has to do with the aircraft going out of the country for the most part. Being that 130's do not do alot of pond-hopping line haul missions, it is fairly uncommon.

Reach is also not the only call sign you may hear an international AMC flight called as well. It is typically reserved for scheduled line ops. There are other call signs for presidential support, state department, and NASA/UN funded missions to name a few.
