The NYT piece on CIA air ops out of Smithfield — reprinted the world over, BTW — reminded me just how dense NC is with fun little outposts.
For example, out Edenton way you’ll find — or more likely not — the Harvey Point Defense Testing Facility. The CIA and DoD and everyone else has been blowing stuff up there for decades. The site is complete with a nice boat slip and an airfield, along with assorted bunkers and ranges. The site was expanded by 240 acres in 2002 to help cope with its booming business.
Ha, booming.
Up the road Moyock way, straddling the Virginia border, you’ll find another dark gray, if not black site, a Naval Security Group listening post that seems to be transitioning to a military prison.
