The Intellicopter

Through its Jerusalem office, TIP operates "Intellicopter" tours—two-and a-half-hour guided helicopter tours with expert guides that give reporters a bird's-eye view of the situation on the ground. The TIP "Intellicopter" educates journalists about security threats and opportunities for peace. More than a thousand journalists from more than 450 media outlets have taken the "Intellicopter" tour, including top journalists from the United States, England, France, Germany, Russia, Italy, Latin, America, Australia and Asia. Millions of people around the world have seen footage shot from these strategic aerial views—views which show Israel's tiny size and enormous security challenges.

Major funding for TIP's Jerusalem office was provided by Robert and Yadelle Sklare.
