Okay, so apparently people are giving workarounds instead of letting you know there is something wrong with this quest............
If you read your quest text it says "take the flight to lakeside landing", it does not say anything about venturing on your own to get there. It leads you to believe you either already have the flight path when you talk to the flying machine next to the quest giver, or that you can talk to the quest giver again and get a flight there... Apparently its broken. I've reported it, and hopefully it'll get fixed.
Edit 7 hours later...
I quote from my emailed response from Blizzard.. "Game Masters are unable to provide hints regarding how to complete this quest."Wow. Lol. I hope i get a satisfaction survey!

Lakeside Landing is at River's Heart, the other FP in this zone. It is not listed as such in the flight map.

Description
You did a good job helping Wes with getting that flying machine back up and running. If you'd like to help us further, there is an unusual weather pattern coming in from the northeast. I have a pilot ready to work for me, but I'm afraid he needs a copilot. If you think you're up to it, you can take the flight to Lakeside Landing. Tell Vic I sent you.
