## Discrepancy

(CAN) IT WAS NOTICED ON POST-FLIGHT INSPECTION THAT THE BOTTOM PART OF THE AFT GREEN M/R BLADE FOLDING PIN WAS HANGING DOWN LOWER THAN THE LEAD-LAG LINK.   ALL PARTS OF THE PIN WERE STILL IN PLACE AND THE LEVER ARM WAS STILL HOLDING THE SELF-LOCKING NUT.  NO VIBRATIONS OR ABNORMALITIES WERE NOTED DURING PREVIOUS FLIGHT.   NO DAMAGE TO M/R BLADE OR LEAD-LAG LINK.
