TheWoWDBdoing it right now and he just evades when you throw the bombs at him (good Blizzard testing quality at work here).
So you're either lucky or not as to which shard you're in and whether he's not bugged.
Joining a group will help you change shards.
If it's working, you'll find a bomb on the ground (as he's flying around in a balloon). They're not the bombs that are ticking, but the metallic little ones that you can click on. If it's working, you click on a bomb and the game throws it at him and he falls down from the balloon (only takes one hit).

It seems that you MUST join a group to get him to land. Click on the find group icon next to the quest listing.
Got credit while in a raid group. No problem with landing, people just threw bombs at him.
