Drop zone near Stennis?

[fasteddy64]

I am still fairly new to the area and spend a lot of time monitoring military aircraft. Today I have 2 C-130's (Hobby-91 and 91) dropping actuals in what I believe they said was the "Jenny DZ". They were calling the DZ on 251.9 but I could not hear the ground station. The tower at Stennis advised another aircraft that there were C-130's doing drops west of the airport. After they dropped they flew right over my house pretty low.
Anyone have any info on the drop zone's location? I would love to watch sometime if possible.

Thanks,

Go out to Stennis when they are doing drops and you can easily see them. Have seen them a number of times from I-10. Appears to be directly north of I-10 west of the airport.

Thanks.
I just got some new binoculars for plane spotting and plan on getting out there soon.

Those callsigns are accurate. HOBBYXX are C-130J with the 815TH AS AFRC KEESLER MS. And the 815th are called the Flying Jennies.
