They could at least have an icon of where the damn thing is like in Icecrown.
If you find the gunship but there is nobody on it (as I did), then log out and log back in again.

What to do
Description
The Earthen Ring is a neutral organization, {name}. We cannot pick sides in the war between the Horde and the Alliance. Look around you -- our members come from all backgrounds. Our mission would be compromised should racial tensions be put above our goal. Let's try to keep this under wraps until we have more information. We must not jump to conclusions just yet. I'll send you and one of our new members to look for the Alliance gunship. Find out what you can without dragging us into the conflict.

Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Captain's Log
<You leaf to the final, interrupted entry.> ...approaching the Temple of Earth at 300 knots and commencing landing maneuvers according to new route. We've made note of a low pressure system in the north and redrawn our... BLOOD AND THUNDER! ALLIANCE SCUM APPROACH!!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- All Our Friends Are Dead
Something's wrong here, <name>. The ship's crew has been slain. Yet there is no bloodshed or damage to the ship's structure. This was not the Horde's doing. We will find the answers we seek by speaking to the spirits of the dead. They have not yet left this world.
