Those of you who know good story telling know the “Sacha” series of mission reports as presented on SimHQ. Originally based on the Eagle Dynamics Lock On flight sim, the series has expanded and integrated other sims as well. Inspired by “Bones”, it has progressed and featured other artists, notably Eric “Flanker56” Johnson and his character “Alexei”. We’re pretty proud of this work, and its author, “Cat”. And so we humbly invite you to continue with the series, or if you’ve never started, to begin with the beginning. Much happy reading folks.
