There’s a line about how Sauron was breeding the flying-worms, so it took a long time, and they weren’t “ready” until he unleashed them. And the unleashing was designed to bring terror (and surprise) to the West. Thus, the Nazgul were stuck with horses and Harleys until the flying-thingies were unveiled. That was morgoth back in the first age, not sauron. ---

Going after _Shire … Baggins…_ was a covert mission involving some intelligence gathering. In our world you don’t see Navy Seals riding around in B52s either, most of the time. ---
