Is this quest bugged for anyone else? Kept getting the 'You are busy and can't use the taxi service right now' error message when I tried to board the Repaired Bomber...
Decided to roll a new alt since the heirloom tab came out today, but hit a brick wall with this quest. You hop in the plane, it goes a few feet, then ejects you.
Costumes granted from toys don't seem to fix this, nor did relogging and disabling addons.
What did work was I just ran to where you are supposed to bomb them, but dispatched them 1 at a time with my sword and still was able to complete the quest.

What to do
Description
My chief engineer tells me that he's managed to get one of the bombers repaired and airworthy. Take these bombs with you, and look for the repaired bomber at the start of the runway. Once you're airborne, use the bombs to do as much damage to the attacking Dark Iron dwarves as you can. I've heard rumors that they're preparing to deploy a new kind of war golem. Keep your eyes peeled for those golems and make them your highest priority targets.

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.
- Rallying the Defenders
While our engineers work on getting the bombers ready to fly again, our guards and mountaineers continue to fight the invaders. They've been out there since the incursion began, without so much as a chance to catch some sleep or have a meal.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Grimaxe's Demise
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.
