Nice job guys. It was a ferry flight, makes things a bit easier, nobody screaming in the back to worry about.
Here's a different take.

Wow glad everyone is safe!!
I flew an Excel for 4 years and I am very curious about how it appears they lost all electrical power with one engine out.
Maybe they blew a current limiter that isolated the good generator, but the chances of that happening in combination with losing an engine has to be nil. If they were indeed on emer power, they could have had the option to return to battery power at touchdown so they could have use of brakes, anti skid, and tr's. Also, although it is not a cessna procedure, many instructors will advocate that if you are in vfr conditions, you might want to consider starting the apu for electrical power. That of course is done at your own risk and it is the job if the captain to way the circumstances (weather, aircraft location, time till landing, ect) on whether to do that or not.
Just throwing some ideas out there, who knows what kind of malfunctions the airplane was having, and bottom line everyone walked away so I dont want anyone to think Im judging any decisions because I am not. Cant wait to hear the story on this one though, Excels have, for the most part, stayed out of trouble.

For anyone who cares I found a bit more to read on this and it appears that they *might* have had a battery overheat light which is why they would have been in emer power aka no brakes or tr's... Im sure more will come out soon

Obviously you have to take the necessary actions to increase you and your aircraft's odds of survival, but that might not mean necessarily landing at Logan.
I'm not very knowledgeable about the citation XL, so there may have been some other reasons at play also.

If you know you're going to blow your tires on landing, do you want to be that guy who shuts down a runway at Logan for several hours?
