I totaly missed the balloon at the quest starting point and went to the Sludgewerks first... there is a balloon there too, which lights up, but that's it... Then i read back the quest :(.
Took the balloon at Krom'gar Fortress (66.7,63.5) , that one goes to the Sludgewerks...
After landing, go to Jibbly Rakit (52.9,39.2), he will let you do 2 other quests before you can go onto theFinal Delivery (with the balloon again)

Description

Champion, we have acquired a new target. Our scouts in Battlescar Valley report that the night elves are preparing their own weapon of mass destruction and hiding it within an ancient tree. They will never be given the chance to use their weapon against us. You are to escort the bomb to the Sludgewerks for refueling and then to Cliffwalker Post, from which we will detonate the bomb and kill all of our enemies. Go now, {name}. Report to Jibbly Rakit when you arrive at the Sludgewerks.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • All's Quiet on the Southern FrontStonetalon Mountains · Level 10-30

    Return now to Overlord Krom'gar, <name>. Inform him of our status and of what you have done to ensure that Malaka'jin does not fall. We thank you for all that you have done. Perhaps some day soon you will have your own region to command.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Turd ProblemStonetalon Mountains · Level 10-30

    We have a little problem... <Jibbly points to the large turds covering the base.> We built the Sludgewerks near a wyvern habitat. Now our initial blueprints for the Sludgewerks were drawn up so as not to disturb the wyvern habitat as the beasts are apparently sacred to tauren and orcs.
