An easy spot to complete this achievement is near the start of [[The Covenant (Level)|The Covenant]], after the first batch of [[Brutes]] and [[Grunts]]. Banshees occupy the airspace there, and [[Master Chief]] spawns with a [[Spartan Laser]].  You can easily shoot down a Banshee in the area that the pelican drops a mongoose (attempting it anywhere before this point will not give you the achievement.)

If this is still not good enough, save up your Spartan Laser ammo and fly the Hornet(the one to transport you to the third tower)and park it on the cliff between the tower with the Thunderstorm skull and the entry to the 3rd tower. Around the cliff should have an enemy Phantom and a ton of Banshees. From here, start shooting at the Banshees with your Laser. The Banshees shouldn't attack you since there are two Pelicans nearby that the Banshees will focus their fire on. If something goes wrong, you can always reset to last checkpoint (which should be on the beach where you enter a Hornet or in mid air in the Hornet).

Another easy spot is on [[The Storm]], where the [[Scarab]] enters and there are stationary [[Missile Pod]]s. Drive your [[Mongoose]] or [[Ghost]] up to the missile pods as fast as possible so the banshees aren't killed by [[Hornets]], then use the Missile Pods to shoot down the banshees. Remember that you do NOT have to rip the Missile Pod off it's base.

Another way to get this achievement is to have an enemy banshee on sandtrap, shoot it to get it's attention, grab the laser or missile pod, there's a missile pod in the crate near the behemoth elephant and a laser near the trip mine, which is next to the entrance to the tunnel. As soon as the banshee is in the open, blast about 4 rockets from the pod, as son as you get a lockon if it starts strafing again the missiles will destroy it. If you try it with the laser, get the enemy player's attention, if it strafes you line up and charge your laser, if it attempts to splatter you, get out of the way. As it flees, charge and track it, if you practiced with the laser, you should be able to get this achievemnt fairly easy.

With the recent addition of Ranked Big Team Battle, this achievement is much easier to come by. (Legitimately)

A really easy way is on Ranked Big Team Battle on Valaha,try to get the missle pod and camp inside the base, eventualy an enemy will get in a banshee, come out and do some damamge, or you can do it the hard way and get the spartan laser. I have 2 friends who have done it both ways respectively.
