Goggle the intelligence of the stupid says....Giant Killer is a term used in the USA. Giant killer is the ATC who controls restricted military airspace used for combat training.

So could it be that giant is a slang terminology used for the combat aircraft?

Edited to add.....Goggle the intelligence of the stupid means me. Just so I don't offend anyone.

The call sign "Giant" is civilian flight operated by Atlas air and most probably a B747.
