Timeline
In October 2008, Burns Street at Essendon Airport was named in honour of her. The street is located within Essendon Fields.
For the first time, on 21 July 2006, Burns managed to meet Nancy Bird Walton, a fellow aviator and pioneer. They had known each other for most of their lives but never met before.
She flew an Ansett Porterfield (Model 35 or Collegiate) with her parachute instructor Mr F B Mueller from Melbourne to District Park Aerodrome for the Newcastle Air Display on 19 February 1938.
Ambulancemen again came to her aid on her fifth jump, in Newcastle, New South Wales, on 20 February 1938, when winds took her off course resulting in a landing in an engineering works after avoiding two sets of high-tension electricity cables.
At the age of 14, Jean joined the Junior Royal Victorian Aero Club and started flying lessons at the age of 17. Graduating with two other young women on 13 March 1937, she obtained her A class pilot's licence and became Australia's youngest female pilot. She held the record until Brigid Holmes broke it as a younger 17-year-old in 1952.
Burns made her first parachute descent at Essendon Aerodrome on 21 November 1937 from an Airco DH.4 aeroplane Spirit of Melbourne at a height of 3,200 feet (980 m). She was 17 years old and watched by an audience of somewhere between two and five thousand. The aircraft belonged to Aerat Passenger Flying (Essendon) Pty Ltd and was piloted by Howard Morris Snr. She was reported to have fallen on landing and to have suffered facial abrasions from being dragged along the ground by her parachute. Reports did not mention whether her harness was equipped with quick disconnects to avoid such injury. She was carried away by ambulancemen though not seriously injured.
Burns said she was inspired to fly at age 10 when she visited Essendon Aerodrome, seeing Yorkshirewoman Amy Johnson fly in shortly after having completed the first solo flight by a woman from England to Australia in May 1930.
Jean Ethel Burns (14 December 1919 – 25 May 2019) was an Australian aviatrix. She was the first Australian woman to parachute from an aeroplane over Australia and held the title of being the youngest female pilot in Australia for 15 years.
