Narrative:
Myself and my first officer departed hya in a lear jet 36A for pne at approximately XA10 local in VFR conditions on an IFR flight plan. The departure and most of the en route was without any problems. At approximately XB30 we canceled our IFR flight plan and proceeded VFR direct to pne. At approximately XB40 we heard a pop come from the right engine. I noticed a slight roll back on the N1 and it went back to normal. At this time I verbally noted to my first officer that all engine indications were within normal operating parameters. About 60 seconds later a multiple of pops came from the right engine. I noticed at this time the N2 and temperature dropping rapidly. I yelled out emergency 3 times to make sure that my first officer was aware of our situation. I turned on the stand-by pumps and air ignition and took manual control of the aircraft. I notified ATC of our situation. We then performed the emergency checklists and attempted a restart that was unsuccessful. We then finished the checklists and diverted to teb and landed without any further problems.
