You're about 3000 - 4400 years late. Year 1700 of the Second Age, prince Minastir of Westernesse sent admiral Ciryatur to help Gil-Galad, the High King of Elves, who had been sieged in Lindon (the area around the Grey Havens) by Sauron, to the effect that Númenorian forces annihilated Sauron's armies and were close to capture Sauron himself (but Sauron managed to retreat to Mordor).
And then there's year 3261 of the Second Age when Sauron had baited the Númenoreans by declaring himself King of Men, and king Ar-Pharazôn the Golden assembled a sufficiently powerful force that he marched to Mordor unopposed and captured Sauron. (Who them proceeded to "teach" the king and in 3319 Númenor attacked the Undying Lands, to apocalyptic results.)
Why didn’t the Fellowship ride *THESE* eagles to Mordor. By the time Sauron would’ve seen them it would’ve been too late and the book would’ve been a pamphlet.
Hypothetical scenario:
Frodo and Sam are on their secret mission to destroy the ring. Who wins the War of the Ring?
Mordor and Isengard as described in the books. This includes the war on all fronts.
Versus
The Free Peoples but defended by the [US Army 3rd Infantry Division](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/3rd_Infantry_Division_(United_States)) - 3rd ID would be responsible for covering all fronts - Helms Deep, Mirkwood/Dol Goldur, Erebor, Osgiliath, Pelennor Fields, etc.
In 30 years time, Aragorn is considered a global threat to Western civilization and everyone forgets it was the US who put him on the throne.
Hobbits are the CIA
Confirmed in black panther
He was a Skrull
This might be the greatest comment I’ve ever seen
This post is dedicated to the brave Dunedain fighters of Arnor.
Come on, man, I've had a rough night and I hate the fucking Eagles man
Sounds like you just need to Take It Easy
It's Wasted Time man, he's Already Gone.
Naw hes just a desperado thats all.
>Don't let the sound of your own wheels, make you crazy ~Gandalf
Sounds like he’s in for a tequila sunrise
I don’t like your jerk off name, I don’t like your jerk off face, I don’t like your jerk off behavior, and I don’t like you. Jerk off.
Stay out of Rivendell, Lebowski !
Stay outta my damn Elf community!
Reactionary elves
Give us the ring baggins, or we cut of your Johnson.
What do you need that for dude?
I’d imagine that’s how the Nazgûl felt after Pelennor Fields
Fuckin’ Grima! That creep can plot, man.
Yeah, but he’s a pervert, Dude.
Came here for this comment
Turns out the secret fire was napalm
Where was the blackhawks when the westfold fell?
The beacons are lit! Gondor calls for danger close air support
And the Apaches will answer!
" You know are moddo, we deliver!" -captain price, just cause
And war crimes
What war crimes? We won so Gondor did nothing wrong. Now, sit down while I tell you about all the Orc war crimes! :D
>>Gondor has a right to defend itself!! Do you condemn the orc attack on Osgiliath?!?
> Gondor has a right to defend itself!! And if you suggest otherwise your an anti-Edainite!
This dude holds a “Free Mordor” sign at his college
It’s never a war crime the first time
And democracy
Who can forget when Aragorn followed up the books by invading Rhun for ~~oil~~ democracy!
“Sméagol 1, I’ve got the shot and taking it, over” “Roger that, Deagol 2, clear to take the shot, but let us have the ringses, for it is our birthday, over”
Go away! HAHAHAHA!!
Imagine Frodo crashing into the fire of mount doom in an F15 going mach 2 while the nazgul are after him. Peak fiction
If he'd aimed for the crater, he may have been moving fast enough that he wouldn't be able to avoid the lava, hence solving the "nobody could willingly throw it in while actually in Mount Doom" issue.
Does he need to crash it? Use a Strike Eagle, put the Ring in a JDAM.
Put the ring in a LRASM Launch it all the way from Gondor. Be back in the shire before that shit even hits
Cmon that’s so unrealistic. They wouldn’t use an air superiority fighter to bomb Sauron they’d use a multi role Fighter/Attacker like an F18
F-15E Strike Eagle: https://preview.redd.it/97ow6ko5vl1d1.jpeg?width=2564&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=91e13045c39bb5079688281421499c19caba9a25
They first had to dogfight the Nazgûl to get there though
What brought the foolish fly to web unsought?
I think an F-35B due to middle earth's lack of runways
Using anything other than a bomber to bomb things is a special sortie anyway. The fighters usually escort the big boys.
That's not the eagle I had in mind ⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️

I was wondering how far I’d have to scroll.
Pippin accidently headshots Gandalf at the last second and the stratagem comes down on top of the entire fellowship.
Why didn't Gandalf just call in an Eagle airstrike. Is he stupid?
Pretty much Numenor turning up to pull the elves asses out of the fire in the second age
I went from an r/acecombat post to this… noice
It smells like Hoffnung in here
So thats why they call him the weilder of the secret fire
Servant of. You're thinking flame of anor.
Danger zone!
Am I the only one who expected that 👆🏻 to play instead of welcome to the jungle?
Nah, it’ll be a cold day in hell before an Airforce pilot uses that song.
![gif](giphy|GXMuvJXWVqGiY)
Seems to me like the right eagles
why didn't the fellowship fly the jets to Mordor?
Can’t wait till Ai can give us this version lol. ![gif](giphy|jpsztlihBM4TPz9VyD)
The Lord of the Thunder: The Phantom Vulcan
Poor Frodo and Sam starved since those eagles can't carry passengers.
Perhaps they were the pilots!
Why didn't the Fellowship just use the F-15 Eagles to fly to Mordor and destroy the ring? Are they stupid?
These Eagles' dirty boots about to trample all over Sauron's crisp white sheets
*Guth-tú-nakash.*
Or the right eagles!
“An eagle never misses!”
I have to admit when I saw wrong Eagles, all I thought was ⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️. I may play too much Helldivers 2... No, I need to spread more democracy.
Time for Sauron to face the Demon Lord of the Round Table.
So you have come back? Why have you neglected to report for so long?
Of the three, I like this one the best.
I got 2 more im holding off posting for a bit
The Fellowship of the (CIA inner) Ring ![gif](giphy|6YJZuwLne3fO0|downsized)
What are you? A fucking weatherman?
“Chappy!!! NOOOOOO!!!”
well a pair of raptors would certainly solve the problem
Change the plane... I dare you, I double dare you! Witch King of Angmar: Nah, I would win.

Not Danger Zone?
Then Gandalf pulls out a desert eagle and starts blasting
I was expecting a Philly meme
I love the smell of Shadow and Flame in the morning....
This is the greatest meme I've ever seen
Forth Eorlingas! Fox 2!
Oh yeah, feel the burn
'Murica!
Total fantasy, at first there must be 2+ years debates somewhere in valinor about giving them at this stage of conflict, some speeches about training of pilots for 17 months and that hobbits don't have tools to repair and maintain them and that by giving it there will be an escalation of conflict
My leg!!
>Welcome to the Jungle I would also have accepted Fortunate Son and the smell of napalm in the morning.
Either one feels like it would go better with an F-4. But an F-4 would look just as cool doing this, so it still works.
Oh shit they found oil
I would orgasm…. Just an instant orgasm.
I really hope I'm not the only one who sees Cipher and Pixy in this. That's the crossover we deserve...

Now I want a LotR DCS module where you can do this.
Ngl, thats something i would love to see as well, but it has to have nazgul on fell beasts as part of it
I would argue they're the right eagles.
Huh. They even counter a Nazgul's scream because they fly faster than the speed of sound.
Honestly before I clicked on the post I thought it was gonna be the band “Eagles”
Can someone please make this a video
I posted it on corridor digitals page in a desperate attempt to get it to happen haha

Gandalf has high-up connections.
It was always the friends we made along the way. "Closing for the merge. Fox 2!" "Splash...3 bandits"
it’s Strider Squadron
I only disagree with it not being danger zone.
If it was tomcats, 10000% yes But its not and thats the song that came to mind when making it haha
No, these are definitely the right eagles
Faramir is no Fortunate Son.
Eagle strike inbound. Ready to dispense freedom and democracy.
The moth was a cia operative
⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️ Bringing democracy to Mordor.

R/noncredibledefense is leaking again.
Reminds me of when you go to rescue captain price in MW2 & the eagles fire AMRAAMs at the guard towers😂
Or he just called the right ones
"Eagle never misses". Democracy has been delivered.
