just out of curiosity, are there any Czechs or folks that are in the Czech Republic on the AA?

Halvgrimr

Halvgrimr

Yeah, all the (limited) info I have on it says its still in Prague.

I contacted Egfroth for some additional info but he too doesn't have much on it.

He suggested I contact Nicolle and maybe Edge or Paddock.

Any of you guys around? I'd appreciate any help you can offer.
