It is probably apparent to most people, but for those like me that aren't used to looking up - Look Up to kill the choppers. I saw them occasionally on the ground so I thought I needed to wait till one appeared on the ground to shoot it and well I was waiting a long time.
Great macro. Gets the quest done in seconds

Description
I spotted some shoulder-mounted rocket launchers on the way over here. They mighta been fireworks. I dunno. I'm just going to assume that they were shoulder-mounted rocket launchers until I'm proven wrong. Point is, in the arms of a skilled {class} like you, they could probably take down a chopper. If you find any lying around, try pointing them at those poorly-built gyrocopters.
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.
- Strongarm Tactics
Scouting reports from the Strongarm Airstrip are in, and I've underlined a few high-priority targets for you. Two gnomish mechanics have been keeping Alliance gyrocopters in the air. Take out the mechanics, and the gyrocopters' numbers will dwindle. A dwarven death knight wanders their perimeter.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Unreliable Allies
We originally welcomed the Alliance as friends. Several of our villagers volunteered to help them build an airstrip. Only recently, however, did it become clear to us that they were building a war base, within shouting distance of our village.
