Walle all had successful solo careers following their time with Flying Norwegians. Walle, having returned to Norway in 1980, recorded several albums that sold fairly, as did Zimmerman. It was Sanden, however, who had the most success, with his two first albums both winning Album of the Year awards (in 1984 and 86), and the second album, Living Today, also being the most sold record in Norway in 1986. Torkelsen and Skjelnes returned to work with Teddy Nelson in 1981, and remained in his touring band until Nelsons death in 1992. The other members also appeared sporadically with the group. In 1994, twenty years after their first album, the original five members reunited, performing a handful of concerts in Norway. At the same time the two albums recorded by the original line-up was re-released on CD, selling to gold. In 1996 they entered the studio for the first time together since 1975 and recorded the band's fifth album, Still Riding. Following a brief set of concerts, they disbanded once again in 1997. Following this the band had occasional reunions and concerts, the last of which took place on April 28, 2005 in Bergen. Five days later, on May 3, Sanden died unexpectedly of a heart attack, aged 51. Today, most of the members remain active, performing studio work, whilst stating that the death of Sanden "retired the band for good".
