The only support I can see for this argument is very indirect: namely, Given all this heavy involvement, it would beĮxtremely surprising if the Valar specifically prohibited the eaglesįrom flying the Ringbearer into Mordor. They directlyĪttack the flying Nazgûl during the last battle. They rescue Gandalf again from Zirak-Zigil. Participate in the Battle of Five Armies. Quite frequently involve themselves in the fight against Sauron (or I am surprised that this argument comes up as often as it does,īecause I am aware of no textual support for this idea. As mentioned in the link in the accepted answer. The Eagles are the representatives of Manwë in Middle-earth. To sum up: The ring had to stay hidden at all times from Sauron's eye, and on top of an eagle on board up in the air would ruin the cover and could endure death. They could only advise or otherwise get tangentially involved. It's also worth noting that the Giant Eagles, much like the Wizards of Middle Earth, were forbidden in directly helping mortals overcoming problems they could solve themselves. The point of sending Hobbits on foot was that they had showed resilience to the Ring's corrupting influence, but also that they would be unsuspected, as Hobbits were considered rather unimportant folk. With Sauron's combined forces being so strong by the time the Ring was discovered, it meant a full-on attack would be highly unlikely to succeed, and so only a covert mission would do. In terms of military strategy, it would be more of a "Hail Mary" than a solid plan, with a high risk of catastrophic failure. Not to mention the fact that they would have been extremely vulnerable in such a position, and likely to be brought down, and if that happened over Mordor, it would have guaranteed that Sauron got his ring back. Sauron also had the Nazgûl air force after all, and maybe others too :) Even a normal Elf like Legolas could spot small flying birds at some distance, the Eye of Sauron would be looking to keep his borders safe, from above and below.
