TheWoWDBIt's official: We need rocket boosted mechanostriders.
If only to get the fun reaction from the Dwarvish Mountaineers:
"What in the blazes WAS that? A flying mechanostrider?
You know what, I don't want to know. I'm just going to pretend that it didn't happen, and we'll be all nice and businesslike."
Priceless.

If you're on a PvP server, the flight will get you flagged for PvP since it briefly takes you into the Wetlands before looping back to Algaz Station.
Quite the fun ride! The sunset didn't hurt either :)

Description
Father finished the Skystrider. It's amazing! Once we get the bugs worked out, I'm going to use it to fight for justice, just like you. I know you've got to move on, and help other people, being a hero and all, but how about a ride? I'm about to take the Skystrider on its first flight, and I'll be honored if you join me. I'll drop you off at Algaz Station. What do you say?
