This happened last year too, or is this a recycled post?

No it happened Sunday did a marvellous job bringing it in and that wasn't bad enough he had the same problem with his Lightning 2 aborted attempts on the way to the runway 1 engine flamed out

It tends to happen on the scale jets, such as the Vulcan and Lightning more than on the sports jets and usually downwind.

The Lightning had some flames when it backtracked on the runway on Saturday. I assume the rear airflow surges the compressor and causes the flameout? Maybe the ducting of the scale jets is more prone to it than the non-scale sports jets?
