Has anyone noticed a change at the airstrip?

[Darian]

A couple days ago, I was flying from Ironforge to Menethil.  As I flew over the airstrip up in the mountains of Dun Morogh, I looked down.  It appeared that the airstrip was populated and there was a battle going on.  There were red names and green names in close proximity.  I wasn't low enough to see any detail but it certainly looked like there was fighting happening.  Has anyone tried getting there lately?  With the downtime and other things happening, I forgot to see if there was now a way to easily get up there.

It's not easy. When you make the hard left out of IF, you sort of have to hug the wall until you reach a tower sort of thing at the SE end of the "gates." You have to try and approach the base of that tower from the highest possible elevation, traverse the very narrow valley beyond that tower while losing as little elevation as possible, then roll around the following ridge while failing to slide below the snow line, then angle sharply to follow that ridge up into the next valley, far enough that you manage to get past the tree line. Even knowing how to do it... it still can take multiple attempts, and each time you fail you have to go back to the gates of Ironforge to try again, because you simply can't get enough elevation any other way. (The previous sentence probably irrelevant for priests with feathers.)

Once you're past that, it's all gravy... until it comes time to drop down into the Wetlands. (Each time you take a plunge downward while doing that, it is vitally important that you make sure you're at full health before dropping down again, otherwise you're probably going to be having a pleasant conversation with your friendly local spirit healer.)
