Pet classes - you may find this challenging to complete. As a hunter, I killed [npc=65882] and [npc=65883] several times without getting quest credit. Only upon dismissing my pet was I able to secure the kill and receive credit.

Description
Scouting reports from the Strongarm Airstrip are in, and I've underlined a few high-priority targets for you. Two gnomish mechanics have been keeping Alliance gyrocopters in the air. Take out the mechanics, and the gyrocopters' numbers will dwindle. A dwarven death knight wanders their perimeter. He's an adventurer like yourself - loosely allied and highly dangerous. Finally, a name I recognize: Corporal Jackson Silver. He's a hero of the Alliance and a deadshot with a crossbow. Good luck, {name}.
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.
- Assault on the Airstrip
I have found their hidden airfield, <name>: the Strongarm Airstrip. It wasn't hard to spot, it's swarming with Alliance. <Nazgrim spits.> They think they've wiped us out, but we're Horde! We fight until we're corpses... and sometimes even afterwards. Let them taste our steel!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Choppertunity
I spotted some shoulder-mounted rocket launchers on the way over here. They mighta been fireworks. I dunno. I'm just going to assume that they were shoulder-mounted rocket launchers until I'm proven wrong. Point is, in the arms of a skilled <class> like you, they could probably take down a chopper.
