Earlier this week the RAAF announced that it had flown an
M1A1 Abrams main battle tank aboard a Boeing C-17, the service's first time
performing this feat. In the video, it's interesting to see how much space
remains on either side of the tank when it is in the hold. There is still more than enough
space for guys to sit on either side and move around.
