If an instant ability's card is flipped before the ability finishes, does the ability still resolve?
The designer's revised-rules ruling supersedes the 2019 answer and matches the rulebook's general instant ability rule.

Under the revised rules, yes. Once an instant ability begins taking effect it resolves fully, even if its card is flipped face-down, so Air Drop still resolves on your next turn. The rulebook's Air Drop and Disrupt notes still describe interruption; that conflicts with the general rule in its tactical abilities section, and the revised ruling follows the general rule. An older 2019 designer ruling that a flip interrupts the ability has been superseded.
