Is Johan Nurmi the best Helicopter flight instructor in the world?

I am one of Johan Nurmis student;s and I have trained with him for almost a year becoming a Certified Flight Instructor. I have also flown with other instructors, but decided to stay with Johan, since in my experience there is no doubt that what Johan Nurmi and his wife Monica does, at USA Academy is absolutely top-pro in the helicopter aviation Industry. They also do mountain training, and extensive autorotation practice,which I really need. USA ACADEMY OF AVIATION has one of the best training offered on the market, and I was also offered to go with him and his crew on a World Speed Record Race, which I probably will, when I have graduated as a CFI. In my opinion, and also what I have heard from other sources, yes, there is no doubt that Johan Nurmi is one of the absolute best, and friendliest CFI;s ever existed. Andrew D.
