The AI pilots of a flight sometimes go 'ballistic' after combat. They let go of their controls and only pull up in the last second when they are about to dive into the ground, then let it go again. It has occurred in older versions too but I think it is more common now. If you are in command you can order them to rejoin, but if not, there is not much to do.
I know one way that should make it happen: You are the flight leader and use autopilot to fly into your landing waypoint. When you reach the WP, your map waypoints change into the landing circle route. If you disengage the autopilot now, any AI pilot who hasn't reached the landing WP by then will lose control. You need to wait for the last one to reach it to make them act normally. (It has been this way for long, not a recent problem)
