Walkthrough
This is gonna be in a big firefight. Before the mission make sure you have the proper equipment such as armor and good firepower. First take cover behind the gate (the bullets can't go through unknown reason) and use your M4 to take the guards out.
Then head on and beware of the sniper on the catwalk and the man behind the crate. There will be a van with about a dozen guards, there should be two explosive barrels, blow them up causing a chain. Then sprint and take cover toward a box there will also be several behind a stack of boxes two will be firing while one will be hiding and two people will be hiding further. Take the close people out then move quickly to the farther ones, if you are low on armor there should be an armor pick-up.
Then there will be a squad of men by the staircase, so throw a grenade or Molotov (if you have none use an RPG) and move on. You will head on top of another roof, here use the health pick-up and move (little resistance). There will be two or so people coming down, shoot them before the hit you. Head up and once you see the ice-cream swirls, there is one guy hiding be quick and kill him.
Then you head up to the exchange, BEWARE WARNING: YOU WILL ENCOUNTER AROUND A DOZEN OR MORE MEN HEAVILY ARMED AND HIDING. Throw a grenade, Molotov, or shoot an RPG at the middle between the two pillars. Shoot a couple of times at different angles and then (BEWARE THERE MIGHT BE SOME SURVIVORS) move from the side, not between or you'll be cornered, and eliminate the rest. If you are low on health, exit the battlefield and head toward the hospital nearby and then continue on. Simply put, if you hear MP5's popping off, start looking as there maybe a threat that's close by that have not been eliminated! Once they are eliminated, use the helicopter to fly to the helipad at Escobar International.
There is an even easier way to complete this mission. Obtain any helicopter before the mission, and as soon it begins, just fly where the documents are waiting at the rooftop. Kill 4 or 5 gunmen thee, retrieve the package and fly to complete the mission. Contrary of what the mission debrief says, you DON'T need to kill each and every person involved, as long you retrieve the stuff.

Script
Mr. Black: There is a valuable exchange taking place on the roof of the Cherry Popper Ice Cream Company. Kill everyone involved, steal the merchandise and take it to the helipad at the airport. There is a gate to your left that leads to the back of the factory.
The Maverick has a unique paint job of blue and white that can't be found anywhere else in the game. However, if you have patience, you can save a Maverick at a garage at Sunshine Autos.
Both the Pony and both Admirals are painted black, and this is the only mission in the game where a black Pony is available. However, getting any of these vehicles out of the yard is very difficult. Three black Admirals can also be found in the mission Check Out At The Check In.
The Sharks also appear in this mission appearing to be trading with
The black Admiral obtainable from the mission
the security guards.
A PSG-1 or Sniper Rifle is great for this mission since it allows the player to kill the body guards from long range. A close in brawl is not recommended since all of them are armed with MP5.
This mission is the easiest way to get the MP5, the best submachine gun in the game without buying it from the DowntownAmmu-Nation or trying to steal one off of the FBI at a 5-star wanted level.
