The Thrustmaster TCA Yoke Boeing Edition is a 1-to-1 replica of a Boeing 787 airliner yoke. If you fly a lot of yoke-based airliners, the TCA Yoke is a great match.

Innsbruck is one of the most beautiful and spectacular places on earth with an airport that can support a variety of airline equipment up to a small widebody such as the Boeing 767-300ER.
