The last three Apollo missions included a lunar roving vehicle. The picture below shows one driven with the front two wheels off the ground (a "wheelie").

A car that is "airborne" has all four wheels off the ground. Obviously, there is no air on the moon, but did the equivalent ever happen with the lunar rover? Did any Apollo lunar rover ever get all four wheels off the lunar surface?
