Flying Elvi are rock and roll aerial stars
SANTA FE, N.M. (UPI) -- The Flying Elvi, it seems, is still getting work following its breakthrough appearance 16 years ago in "Honeymoon in Vegas."
The parachuting group that dresses like rock 'n' roll icon Elvis Presley, ahs had one booking after another ever since sharing the screen with Nicolas Cage in the 1992 comedy that co-starred Sarah Jessica Parker, Flying Elvi member Rich Brooks told the Albuquerque Journal.
"The movie came out and then people wanted Flying Elvi," Brooks said.
The group's performances now include a sighting above Santa Fe, N.M., where the group jumped from a plane and glided to the ground as part of the Buffalo Thunder Resort & Casino's grand opening.
The Journal said Wednesday's event offered a bit of Las Vegas glamour with the jumpsuit-clad Elvi along with more traditional New Mexico fare in the form of pueblo dancers and Beau the white buffalo.
