I found this by accident, it's possible to destroy the SAM launchers
using any kind of explosives. Satchel charges, molotovs, grenades,
rockets and projectiles from the Rhino, Hydra and Hunter blow them up.
They respawn, like all other statics in the game (Lamp posts, fire
hydrants, other street furniture) when you exit and re-enter the area.
The easiest thing to do is to destroy only the SAM launcher that's just
north of where you find the Cargobob, as the others are too far away to
stay destroyed. After jacking the chopper, simply fly low to the north.
When you get a little near the airstrip it's safe to fly higher as
you'll be out of range from the SAM launchers you didn't destroy.

I didn't see any, but the wanted level you get seems to be a bit hit
and miss. You need a military vehicle to get inside but the guards
sometimes don't spawn at the gate. You can also use a humble Patriot to
get inside, which is handy as they often appear on the road nearby.
On a side note, has anybody else had fun blowing police helicopters out
of the sky using the turret on the Rhino?
Cheers,
Rob
