For a country that desperately needed good news, and a city that's had more than its share of the bad kind, Capt. Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger's "Miracle on the Hudson" landing was a most welcome happy ending. The fact that 58-year-old Sully is a baby boomer was an added bonus for our generation. Suddenly, news stories questioned the wisdom of forcing pilots to retire at 65. Overnight, the coolest, most heroic person in the country was a guy with white hair and mustache, who'd been with US Airways for 29 years.
