Unofficial report I just saw says 3LC nailed it. Airport is only a few miles from display site so they didn't take much fuel. Obama speech went long. The pilot called joker so they didn't use burners for the final fly by. Due to a runway change they had to land north instead of south as planned. He ran out of fuel on downwind. No fuel means no fire.
