How do you know it flamed out. Looks more like a surge bleed valve issue than a flame out.

Because I am John Travolta..who cares what really happen. Watch the pretty boom and go ahhhhh.."Did you see that explosion oh my goooooood I hope they can stop.
 
I was there when it happened. They aborted, taxied back, and took off again in less than 10 minutes! It was a fairly high speed abort, I'd say they were above 80kts. Wonder if they even looked a brake cooling charts or a QRH for the compressor stall? They were probably pretty light, but still...

I don't know much about the 707, but if that woulda happened on my Diesel-9 it would have been a mandatory return to gate and MX write-up per company rules.

I'm guessing a part 91 B-707 plays by different rules? Heck, 'Ol Johnny boy may not have even been at the controls that evening... Thats all for my monday morning q-backing.
