51.53 45.31 is a good sniping spot, they patrol by you.

Comment by srsbusiness

can't seem to get this quest--anyone know the prereqs?

Comment by coredumperror

One of the pre-reqs for this quest is Raise the Barricades. As soon as I turned in that quest, Korm finally let me pick up this one.

Comment by 27627

This opens the daily quest:
Keeping the Alliance Blind.

Comment by Blarnay

Probably a slight nod to the Alan Parson's Project's "Eye in the Sky."

The Icecrown is done! Leave your comments/sugestions at my comment in Icecrown zone. Thanks everyone who helped me to make it via comments on wowhead and in-game pre-quest tracking.

Comment by Tannko

I went to 48.9, 35.4 using the macro listed here and shot all 6 down very quickly (as soon as GC was over I was shooting another down)

Comment by 319872

"We'll show them what true warriors look like."

True warrior = standing far away firing heat-seeking missiles at defenseless recon pilots?

...Mkai

Comment by 54426

52.39 is a great place to stand to camp the fighters as well.

Comment by kurtiffrig

OMG, the first three comments are awesome, great vantage point and flawless macro. Completed this quest in less than 30 seconds, thanks guys.

Comment by fatboys1im

Use macro or ..... if you have epic flight it is very easy to swoop in, target skybreaker, drop to ground, fire missle, rinse and repeat. Was done in 2 minutes, no trouble from mob.

Comment by 344419

Anyone know if this quest broke somehow over the last few days with the patches and hotfixes? Suddenly I can't see any planes in this area when I could always see them patrolling around the area.

Comment by Naad

As of 3.0.4a the Recon Fighters dosen't appear.

Comment by dillybar

Be aware, the questgiver will show a daily quest (blue exclamation point) and you sometimes can miss that he has an actual quest required for continuing through the Icecrown questlines. You have to click on him and interact to see that he has both the daily and the regular quest.

Links

Blinding the Eyes in the Sky

Use the SGM-3 to destroy 6 Skybreaker Recon Fighters, then report back to Sky-Reaver Korm Blackscar aboard Orgrim's Hammer.

	Skybreaker Recon Fighters shot down (6)

Provided item:

	SGM-3 (1)

Description

The Alliance has somehow managed to field a squadron of recon vehicles over the Valley of Fallen Heroes and Icecrown Glacier, the broad areas west of Aldur'thar.

They cannot be permitted to take the lead in this fight. Chief Engineer Copperclaw has supplied me with the perfect weapon to deal with this threat -- he calls his new missile the SGM-3. I have his assurances that it will take out the Alliance flying machines in a single hit. Go and use this weapon to give us the upper hand.
