So my party has finaly gotten their airship airworthy and we finnished the session with me playing this little tune, while describing how they left the city behind and felt the wind upon their faces and the imense sense of freedom and so on. So next session I need some encounter ideas for general airship fun. So far I have the below list, but I would love more inputt.

During an airborn combat, the khyber shard is damaged, and the elemental escapes! Can the PCs put it back in it's shard before the airship crashes?!?!?!?!!?!

I think I would invent a rival Lyrandar airship captain who competed with the party for resources and contracts.  And an excoriate airship captain working for some shady private interest - maybe a pirate running slaves to Darguun - or maybe he's not a captain, only a pilot, and the captain is Darguul (read, "Klingon").  And instead of slaving, maybe they are hijacking Lyrandar airships to build their own fleet.

 

Or the House could set them the task of investigating/disrupting supply lines for/sabotaging efforts to build an airship that can be operated without the Mark of Storm.

Thanks for all the advice. I can't believe that I forgott to look at Start Trek and FIrefly for more inspiration.

One thing I don't really need to plan is things that makes them crash. So far they have set fire to or crashed the Lightning rail 3 out of 4 times riding it...
