"Miracle On The Hudson" Pilot's Cap Passes Under The Hammer For $5,800


Whether you're tired of all the foofraw surrounding the helluva good job Capt. Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger did aboard U.S. Airways flight 1549 or can't get enough of the hero captain, it was interesting to see that Sully's flight cap was just auctioned off for $5,800 - on eBay.

The signed cap, stripped of its U.S. Airways insignia, passed this morning, with all the money from the sale promised to two local schools. The good captain is a class act and a local boy and we're glad things went well for him and his passengers that fateful day in January, but Antiqueswest thinks the least they could have done would be to throw in a bag of those airline peanuts to sweeten the deal.
