Melanie was born in East Germany (GDR) and has always dreamt of travelling without any frontiers, ideally as an astronaut in the universe. As a child in West Germany (FRG) Andreas always wanted to travel around the world in a vehicle that can fly ("Flie"), water ("wa") and drive on the road like a car ("tüüt")  - just like in his favorite TV series: "Robbi, Tobbi und das Fliewatüüt". Later united as a couple, they saw a very similar kind of this multiway vehicle again in James Bond "You Only Live Twice", but this time in real: the so called gyroplane or gyrocopter "Little Nellie".

Before getting their own children, the married couple Stütz wanted to realize its childhood dream. They have not traveled to the moon yet, but around the world by autogyro! However Mel & Andy did not know anything about flying at the beginning. They first had to learn everything they would need for their adventure. And directly after receiving their pilot licenses they flew in 18 months on 5 continents by gyroplane: in Europe, Africa, Australia & New Zealand, the USA and South America. A pioneer story! This flight adventure leads through some of the most beautiful areas in the world. It has become a new dimension of discovering places by gyrocopter, sometimes the only means to get there. A completely new perspective! On their way the pilot couple asked also adults and children about their dreams. Andreas and Melanie Stütz not only visited, but also support projects of the children´s charity "terre des hommes" by documenting the first Gyrocopter World Tour on film and in book.
