I remember reading about a week ago on the Abandoned Airfields web site
that there is a CIA training airfield in the area and the chart
identifies the controlling agency of the airspace around the site as
"Giant Killer". You were probably talking to one of them.

I had the opportunity to fly 2 weeks ago direct from APF (Naples, FL) to
HTO (East Hampton, NY) with a fuel/bladder/food stop in New Bern, NC.
This flight took me about 100nm off the East Coast of Florida. I was
handed off from Miami Center to Sea Lord without a clear signal so I
climbed to 13,500 and received a usable signal. Once my position was
confirmed I descended back to 11,500 as signal became stronger. Was this
the Navy I was speaking to? Also, after I transferred over to Giant
Killer, near N.C., the controller was directing me to a military comm.
channel. I realized the controller error and advised I was civilian G.A.
Does the term Giant Killer hold any historical meaning also?=20
