Earindil was pretty cool, but he wasn't Vanyar, he was part man, part Noldor, part maiar, part whatever Thingol was (I forgot), and he had an eagle chariot. Please, apart from Tulkas and Eonwë, show me exactly what the Ainur did. Without the Eagles the dragons would have been shot out of the sky. They'd have to land to stop their soft underbellies from being attacked, and then they're even more vulnerable. And Eärendil wasn't wholly a Vanya, no, but he fought alongside them…
