Yes, as it get treated as a weapon.

Also, any feat that you have that applies to a scimitar, would also apply to a flame blade. (As far as I read on it)

That's how it should work. The language of the spell is that you wield it "as if it were a scimitar". So, just about anything that applies to scimitars ought to apply to a Flame Blade.

To add to the feat bit (from the FAQ):

Ray: Do rays count as weapons for the purpose of spells and effects that affect weapons?

Yes. (See also this FAQ item for a similar question about rays and weapon feats.)

For example, a bard's inspire courage says it affects "weapon damage rolls," which is worded that way so don't try to add the bonus to a spell like fireball. However, rays are treated as weapons, whether they're from spells, a monster ability, a class ability, or some other source, so the inspire courage bonus applies to ray attack rolls and ray damage rolls.

The same rule applies to weapon-like spells such as flame blade, mage's sword, and spiritual weapon--effects that affect weapons work on these spells.

Spiritual Weapon (scimitar) + Improved Critical (scimitar) + Vortex Spell revelation (Wind Mystery) = Pure Awesome

Sorry, but the Spiritual Weapon spell description includes the following sentence:

Your feats or combat actions do not affect the weapon.

No Improved Critical (scimitar) - sorry.

Now, Weapon Focus(Scimitar), and Weapon Specialization(Scimitar), would effect attacks with the Flame Blade.
