Plane & Pilot Photo Of The Week: Best Dad, Ever?

The story of this airline pilot dad is sweeping the Internet, and for good reason!

Check out our Plane & Pilot Photo Of The Week to see the extraordinary story of one dad who put family (a family of pilots) before career, and the amazing pic that shows how it was so worth it!

The pilot/dad in question is Abu Bakar, is a Malaysian pilot who quit his job as a senior captain at the national airline so he could become a lower-tier captain with AirAsia, which would allow him to! get this! fly with both of his daughters, Safia Anisa and Safia Amira, who are AirAsia first officers.

Clearly the pride and joy of family transcends culture, and here's photographic proof!
