President/Chief PilotH5 Helicopters president, Mitch Kelldorf…

H5 Helicopters president, Mitch Kelldorf, is a visionary entrepreneur with a passion for both flying and the cinematic arts. Virtually obsessed with quality, Kelldorf believes that the grandest visions have the greatest potential when the most highly skilled people have access to best technology available. This is the guiding ethos of H5 Helicopters. He began flying fixed wing aircraft in 1988 and “graduated” to his first love, helicopters, in 1998. Kelldorf’s early career experience included time with the US Marine Corps, training as an actor at New York’s prestigious Lee Strasberg Institute, and working as a partner in an event design and production company. Subsequently, he received design patents for his new product inventions and established Sculptware, a leading manufacturer and supplier of “functional art” design products for the Special Events industry. In 2008 Kelldorf founded H5 Helicopters and introduced the “SaberCat1” helicopter, setting a new standard for aerial platforms in the tour, charter and aerial filming industry.
