TheWoWDBI think there's a typo in the quest, it says: "Thrall says his clan rides gryphons"... I think they mean to say Kurdran Wildhammer seeing as he's right besides Thrall.
Edit: just to be clear, this is a copy of the in-game text as of 28-08-2024.

It's correct - Thrall says [his](Kudran's) clan rides gryphons
Darkdefender has interpreted properly. The text is phrased oddly, but it's not incorrect.

Description
Kurdran Wildhammer has come to train the new Stormriders in aerial maneuvers. Thrall says his clan rides gryphons--much like the Stormriders ride stormrooks--so he should be of great help to us. Unfortunately, a few of our new recruits seem to have, uh, wandered off with their stormrooks. I wanted them to have a chance to bond, but it's time to come home. Would you mind rounding them up? Thrall and I are putting together something special for these "rookies" lessons.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Home to Roost
You've already done us a great service here, <name>. We will carry on by the example you have set. You should return to Dhar Oztan and see to these new Stormriders you've recruited. They will undoubtedly benefit from the same diligence you have shown here.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Flight Training 101
Now that all of our recruits are present, it's high time we took to the air. See what I did there? High time? No? Right then. We'll be puttin' these rookies through their paces.
