Blog Post #4- Flying Tanks

If you've seen the remake of the A-Team movie from 2010 with Liam Neeson then you are familiar with the scene where they are "flying a tank." (If not, I suggest you watch it here, my apologies for the brief language)  This scene is my favorite part of the whole movie and I think it's hilarious.  I decided to do a google search to see if it was possible, and I came across this youtube channel called Reel Physics, where a couple men use a bunch of math my art major brain doesn't understand to determine if what Hollywood comes up with could happen in real life:

I was rather surprised to find that they deducted that it is, in fact, possible to "fly" a tank.  I now have even more reason for this to be my favorite!
