This has got to be a complete scam - forget it folks! The paltry info on their web site gives it no credibility at all. Nothing about helo type, pilots' profiles, detail of route, why they think they can break the record etc etc. Not even reference to the fact that the guy behind it, Johan Nurmi, apparently owns the USA Academy flying school.
So much reads oddly to me. According to press articles, this Johan Nurmi has over 7000 hours of time from 18 years in the Swedish Army. Doesn't sound like it from reading a few paras of his report on his previous R22 "record attempt" flight in 2004! Actually his terminology smacks to me of someone who doesn't fly at all but has picked up a bit of second hand knowledge. Enough to take on a record breaking world flight? No way!
And then his
www.usaacademy.com flying school web site. Big sounding name, but apart from anything else look at the Gallery section - in terms of office and hangar facilities etc looks completely set up to me.
Wouldn't normally spend time on this, but I do hate charity scams. Of course I could be wrong!
