The main purpose of this thread was to kindof sort things out for myself. I would think that Balrogs were able to fly. It just makes more sense to me that Balrogs had Wings.. be they made of shadow and fire or part of the physical shape the Maia decided to choose.. they could fly either way. If the wings helped them - thats great. If they could just naturally fly themselves - good for them. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] It doesnt really matter in any case.
For them to do things like scale the mountains around Gondolin with dragons, they had to be able to fly. Even if they were really good climbers it is still hard to beleive.
Now that I think about it though, if a Balrog didn't have wings I dont think it could naturally fly on its own. Even Melkor couldn't - he had to get help from Ungoliant to scale the mountains around Aman. Even though they were alot taller, its the same thing kindof.
