      You are correct, EOR is wherenbomb pins and such are pulled, then the weapons guy or gal shows the pilots and crew chief them and the crew chief marshalles them out of the EOR spot.

      A nice one. You have eagle eye. Well. All the safety pins of the jdams are left pinned for the EOR final checks or end of the runway. There's a holding point just at the end of the active where ground personnel is awaiting for the final checks and pins removal. Final salute and...take power set

      Some safetyflags are only removed at EOR. In fact one crew chief prepare the plane and check startup and pilot, after that plane taxiing and go to EOR. Here an other crew chief check the plane to ne sure it's well configured and after that a weapons crew chief remove weapons safety flags. Plane is good to take off
