If the Eagles flew them from Rivendell to Mt. Doom in the first place the whole trilogy would be skinnier'n the Book of Mormon with all the "exceedinglys" and "it came to passes" yanked out.
If the Eagles attempted to fly the Ring to Orodruin, the Nazgûl would have destroyed them and taken the Ring to Sauron.
And just to pick a nit, Frodo and Sam were brought to Ithilien, not Minas Tirith.
