Doesn't seem to be a direct way to get back to Ironforge from the airfield. Take the flying machine back to Gol'Bolar Quarry and grab the flight path from there to IF (you're given the IF flight path automatically).

The following conversation starts when you complete the quest.

Moira Thaurissan says: How dare you storm into my throne room and attempt to spread this conspiratorial nonsense!
Moira Thaurissan says: I will not let you and this treasonous Commander Stonebreaker steal my son's birthright!
Muradin Bronzebeard says: That is quite an accusation, Moira. It's hardly your throne room in the first place.
Muradin Bronzebeard says: I know Commander Stonebreaker and I will vouch for his loyalty and his honesty. We must take his word.
Muradin Bronzebeard says: What cause do the Dark Irons have for taking up arms against Ironforge? Are you unable to control your own people, Moira?
Falstad Wildhammer says: Muradin has a point. If you cannot govern your own people, you have no place at this table.
Moira Thaurissan says: Both of you know I would never order such a thing! Why would I set one half my son's inheritance against the other?
Moira Thaurissan says: No, this is the work of a traitor to both our peoples. Despite my best efforts, some Dark Irons remain in the grip of Twilight's Hammer.
Moira Thaurissan says: The cult must have someone in the city to coordinate this kind of attack. That only leaves one suspect, Ambassador Slaghammer!

Which leads to the next quest: Seize the Ambassador, to arrest Ambassador Slaghammer and bring him to the High Seat

Description

So just how did all those Dark Iron warriors end up here, on the doorstep of Ironforge, on the verge of invading our city? Does not 'Empress' Moira, a member of our esteemed Council of Three Hammers, rule the Dark Iron? This cannot have happened without her knowledge and consent. This was no ragtag band of rebel dwarves, but a well-organized and fully equipped invasion force. I have prepared a report on the battle for the airfield. Take it to Ironforge, to the High Seat and confront her!

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.

  • Grimaxe's DemiseDun Morogh · Level 1-30

    With you leading the way, we've finally broken the momentum of the Dark Iron attack. General Grimaxe, the Dark Iron leader, is attempting to rally his troops from the center of their lines on the frozen lake to the south. He stands atop one of their new dark iron golems, shouting orders to his men.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Seize the AmbassadorIronforge · Level 1-30

    The ambassador's betrayal will long haunt me. You must arrest him before he can do further harm, or worse, before he can escape and start planning the next attack. Ironforge is not safe with Ambassador Slaghammer free inside the city. Take these manacles and go to the Dark Iron embassy.
