Weltflug.tv - The Gyrocopter World Tour is the title of a five-part documentary series by Melanie & Andreas Stuetz and of "Weltflug - Two high-flyers on five continents" by Andreas Stuetz. == Content == Blu-ray, DVD and book document the flight that started in April 2009 by Melanie and Andreas Stuetz and led in 18 months and 100,000 miles of travel around the world. Highlights of the route were: The Way of St. James (Europe), the Okavango Delta, the Kalahari and the Namib Desert (South Africa, Botswana, Namibia), the Outback and the Tasman Sea (Australia), Tauranga via Wellington to Queenstown, New Zealand, Seattle over San Francisco to Los Angeles (USA), Buenos Aires over Iguazu Falls to Rio de Janeiro (South America). The idea for the real adventure comes from the book "Robbi, Tobbi und das Fliewatüüt" of Boy Lornsen, a famous children's author. Melanie dreamed as a little girl in the GDR about boundless travel. Andreas devoured as a young boy in West Germany, the children's TV series "Robbi, Tobbi und das Fliewatüüt". His childhood dream was to be like Tobbi make a trip around the world with a vehicle that flies ("Flie"), lands on water ("wa") and drives like a car ("tuut). Later in the James Bond film "You Only Live Twice (film)", the couple saw a plane similar to the Fliewatüüt. Sean Connery triumphed in Japan with a kind of bonsai helicopter, called gyrocopter or autogyro "Little Nellie", against four combat helicopters. The autogyro looked indeed like a small helicopter, but started and landed like an airplane. Still before they have kids and would support their dreams, Melanie and Andreas learned to fly. They acquired their own autogyro and launched the first World Tour with a gyrocopter at all, with stages in Europe, Africa, Australia & New Zealand, the USA and South America. Until they had started this project with an autogyro, a microlight sport vehicle built for short range, it was believed to be an impossible undertaking. Melanie and Andreas used the travel to support and draw attention to the work of the children's charity Terre des hommes. They visited children in projects of Terre des Hommes in South Africa, India, Thailand, Peru and Bolivia, and asked children and adults about their childhood dreams. The couple met in the interviews with the caregivers and the children and learned that childhood dreams can be an important key for the development in life. Children who pursue a dream for their lives, have a strong motivation to overcome opposition and adversity. With the realization of their world tour Melanie and Andreas encourage children and adults across borders to pursue their dreams. A portion of proceeds from the book and movie will go directly to help the children of Terre des Hommes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Weltflug.tv – The Gyrocopter World Tour」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
