Mitch Kelldorf

Owner and chief pilot of H5 Helicopters, Mitch began flying fixed-wing aircraft in 1988 and “graduated” to the amazing world of helicopters in 1998. He paired his obsession of excellence, perfection and visionary entrepreneurism to create the guiding ethos behind H5 Helicopters. He founded the company in 2008 and introduced the “SaberCat1” helicopter, setting a new standard for aerial platforms in the tour, charter, and aerial filming industry.

Mitch’s early career experience included time spent in the US Marine Corps, training as an actor at New York’s prestigious Actors Studio, and working as a partner in the event design and production industry. He established Sculptware in 1987, a leading manufacturer and supplier of “functional art” products and holds multiple design patents for innovative creations in the special events industry. Now, for over two decades, Mitch has been involved in the aerial filming world of Motion Picture, Network Media, Government and Multi-national Agencies: Apple TV, BBC Planet Earth, Travel Chanel, Discovery, National Geographic, Red Bull, Breitling, Raytheon and Lockheed Martin to name just a few.
