the air drop was real, but the movie footage of the landing on the road was done on a giant zipline.
there are youtube videos posted on this thread showing them pushing out the cars one at time out of a hercules c-130 since the USAF would never allow them to use one of their globemasters for this. (on a side note: i don't know if this is for real or not, but people said to look carefully at the markings on the globemaster, and then compare it to the one that was used in the last superman movie... same plane?)
and if you follow mightycarmods they did an episode on it as well. they showed footage of the remains of the green challenger letty drove after it landed intact, but the wind caught the chute dragged it across the desert like a tumbleweed and destroyed it
