George Schuster, 91, test driver for the 1907 Thomas Flyer, recalls the 1908 New York to Paris victory aided by a two‑man crew. The battle‑tested machine, revived near Reno, still runs at 55 mph after 13,000 miles across Alaska, Japan, and Russia, culminating in a Paris win on elapsed time. Bill Harrah’s Reno collection later purchased the Flyer.
