#4 I think they mean "Tow Bar" the thing that hooks the front landing gear to a tractor for ground movement, forget that, and yes you gotta push it out of the hangar to safely start the engines.

Almost kind of looked forward to 'smoking those tyres', 'wheelies' or 'dropping the engine(s)' on takeoff.
