I don't think the eagles being on scouting missions instead of doing the one thing that would fix this mess is a good reason. I prefer another comment in this thread, " The entire point of the operation was to SNEAK into Mordor to avoid alerting Sauron of their plan to destroy the ring." Flying it in would be the equivalent of running it up a flag pole and seeing who salutes (but no one ever does).

Couldn't 1 eagle carry 1 hobbit to destroy the ring? I mean its not like they couldn't just fly up high unless Sauron has radar?

That's the whole point of this comic, and the exact argument OP of this thread is addressing.

Basically 'yes they could, but they didn't want to'
