The FIM-92 Stinger is a passive surface-to-air missile, shoulder-fired by a single operator, although officially it requires two. The FIM-92B can attack aircraft at a range of up to 15,700 feet (4800 m) and at altitudes between 600 and 12,500 feet (180 and 3800 m) (citation from Wikipedia).

"Stinger won't bring down a 747"

Hit it in the tanks (which means about anywhere in the wings or the fuselage between the wings), and I bet it will.
