Default What's the pin for?

Most fighters have three pins...both mains and nose gear. PapaGeorge

What does it mean when the crew of an aircraft look for "the pin" held
by the ground crew after pushback?


They are looking for the Nose Gear Ground Locking Pin to insure
that it has been removed prior to flight. If not, the nose gear
will not retract.
