But in all seriousnes, I do not beleive that Gwaihir could have taken the Ring to Mount Doom. It would have been interesting to see if it would have happened that way, though.

In every instances, Gwaihir and the Eagles are there to resuce the people of the the books. I think, MHO, the Ring had to willing be distroyed. - I know, some will argue here on this point - but I don't want to spoil anything. What I mean to say is that Frodo, yes and Sam, willing carried the ring to Mount Doom with the full purpose of distroying it.

The ring had no power of Gwaihir, the other Eagles, nor Tom Bombadil, therefore, in my opinion, it would have been impossible for them to distroy it. It would have to be carried by someone who the ring could have control over, but strong enough in spirit/mind/character to endure and overcome the power and lust for the ring.
