Is it possible or is it like the stealth bomber? The stealth bomber survived my nuke it was pretty cool.

Nope, both of those planes do not respond to gunfire nor can they be locked on to.

What about predator missiles?
I heard something about you being able to shoot those down before. And with the missiles how "big" are they? Like can you squeeze them through a little tiny hole in something?

They can be locked onto, by stingers at least. It's how I farmed up half of my cold blooded Pro challenges before I abused the Pavelow/Heli glitch. You can never seem to get them before they drop their load, though. They're simply too fast.

Epicer, it sounds like you're talking about the airdrop helicopter (littlebird?). I've tried to shoot down stealth bombers and the Emergency airdrop plane, but to no avail.

Ah, yes, excuse my ignorance, I thought the 4 kill streak Care Package drop was the one being reffered to.
Anyways, it seems that the C-130 the packages are being dropped from is invincible. Nothing can prevent it from dropping the crates, not even an EMP.
And I have to add that Emergency Airdrop has to be the most useless and/or counterproductive killstreak in the game.

Try a Predator Missile, Precision Airstrike, and Emergency Airdrop. As long as you can get the 5 for the predator it's not too hard to pull out your Airdrop and it's basically like having 7 killstreak rewardss instead of only 3 unless you get ammo. Add Hardline if you want to make it even easier.
If you just want a Choper Gunner, AC130, EMP, or Nuke then yeah Emergency Airdrop won't help you, by design.
And yes that's Precision Airstrike and not Harrier. Harrier can get more kills, but it's not really significant enough if you're just gunning for Emergency Airdrop since it takes one more kill to get the Harrier and that also means it's 1 less kill the Harrier actually contributes to getting Airdrop.
Anyway...
I can at least verify that the Stealth Bomber flies low enough to hit it with a Predator Missile as I have one fly below my missile as it was coming down just recently. I was already boosting and did not catch up to it in time to hit, and I think it was a teammate's bomber anyway, so I had no chance to see if the missile can kill it.

Or use OMA, get 3 kills, switch to Hardline, get 1 kill to gain your predator, hide and pop your missile to get Airstrike, then use it hoping for 2 kills. Once you get your airdrop switch to CB and find a place to drop it safely. Enjoy.
Use Harrier if you prefer but I generally don't find Predator to reliably get 2 kills. You could also just stick with UAV or Counter UAV and get your 6 kills manually for the airstrike.
I've used this before sans OMA (didn't have it yet). Lately though I've been using UAV, Pred, Harrier instead because it still gives me the Harrier to shoot for but I at least get UAV pretty commonly. I'm rather disappointed with Predator, though. You can save the Missile for when you know you'll get a chance for a double kill, but when you do you run the risk of dying before you can use it to boost your KS. Unfortunately it's very inconsistent on most maps, at least in TDM. Probably fares better on objective maps with everyone fighting over specific points.
Anyway I'm getting off topic...

i dont think ive called one emergency airdrop without a package landing on a roof or out of the map, i think you should pick the direction they fall.
