Hollywood

Steve Helinski
SCA Fighter Pilot

"Hollywood" learned to fly and earned his Bachelor’s of Flight Science and Administration from Western Michigan University. After college Hollywood was hired as a commercial airline pilot with a commercial airline and quickly realized that was not where his passion lies.  He was in search of a more exciting and challenging career opportunity.

Hollywood went on to train pilots in Charlotte, North Carolina; where he also had the opportunity to train as an aerobatic pilot under one of the premier aerobatic trainers in the nation, Mikey Matthews.  Aerobatics proved to be Hollywood’s true calling and where his talents were most evident.

Hollywood became a premier aerobatic pilot in his own right and in the fall of 2010, Hollywood was recruited by Sky Combat Ace in Las Vegas to share his expertise and love of Aerobatics with our team and our customers.

At Sky Combat Ace, Hollywood has participated in training advanced aerobatics and is the cofounder of Ace Combat Extreme (ACE) a civilian combat fighter squadron.

Hollywood hails from Brooklyn, Michigan.
