Narrative:

After takeoff, gear did not retract. Suspected gear pins were installed from previous maintenance write-up. Returned to phl airport. During landing run, noticed had no normal braking. After clearing runway, noticed gear handle was still in the up position. When doing the before landing checklist, called for gear down. Gear was already down and locked. During handoff from approach to tower, we just forgot to put handle down, stemming from both pilots seeing 3 green down and locked verification. I feel this was caused by human error.
