Obituary: Jack W. Burke, longtime Pan Am pilot and resident of the Seattle area, passed away in Hospice care on Thurs., Dec. 5, 2013 at the Fleming House. He was born on the homestead near Ismay, Mont. on Aug. 7, 1922 to J.C. and Catherine Warner Burke. In 1923 the family moved to Ismay where his father ran a grain elevator. Later they moved to Miles City when his father became operator of the International Elevator on Main St. at the subway where Jack worked long hours unloading boxcars and generally helping his dad. In high school Jack skipped last period study halls and went to the airport and did any odd jobs they had there. In payment for working there he was taught to fly. He went to work for George Askin flying to the well sites being drilled and hunting coyotes to sell the pelts. Jack graduated from Custer High School in 1940 and went on to the University of Montana and studied premed because his mother wanted him to become a doctor. Meanwhile, Jack only wanted to fly. He was flying at age 14 and never looked back.

Soon he was flying the bush in Alaska for Pan Am with no instruments and only a dog sled driver aboard to tell him which were the safe canyons. During World War II he flew in the Aleutian Islands, then served in both the Air Force and Navy in the Korean and Vietnam Wars. On the first day of the Tet Offensive, he managed to land his 707 in Saigon, rescued more than 200 trapped Vietnamese and delivered them to safety while surrounded by ground fire.

He retired from Pan Am in 1982 after 40 years as an instructor, check pilot and Chief Pilot ...although he preferred to fly. He said he would have flown for free after retirement if they would have let him. In 2010 Jack wrote a book titled A LIFE ALOFT about growing up in eastern Montana and his love for flying.

Jack and his high school sweetheart, Alma (Scottie) Trafton were married 65 years when she passed away in 2007. He is survived by two children, Shawn and Shannon Burke, two grandsons, a great-granddaughter all near Seattle, and several nieces and nephews.In Lieu of flowers, please make donations to Toys for Tots.
