    I've never seen that one before. Plan-view in Wikipedia article: Looks like someone wearing a wingsuit.

    Now, if you had never seen a plane before in your entire life you wouldn't think it was ugly. You'd probably have no opinion at all except maybe curiosity.

    I wish someone would make a swastika emoji I could post here. The only ugly thing I see is the need to edit out history.

      Exactly. Editing out history only guarantees that it will be repeated.
