The sheilds have one weakness, hitting the top side of the shield emitter with a projectile weapon will knock it off or sever its power lines, rendering it useless, however, this is very hard to do on purpose, as projectile weapons aren't common, it's legs and beak shield it from the sides and directly ahead, and its a tiny spot to hit. Skyjacking is actually wiser! I know it sounds weird, but you stand a better chance of victory by somehow timing a jump perfectly and landing on the back, and throwing the pilot out of the plane than actually shooting at the plane.
