Lets get to the very basic question, would you prefer to be in the air in a ugly plane, or always on the ground looking up at pretty ones?

Without ugly, how would we know if we had pretty ? (beauty is in the eyes of the beholder)

I remember the days when automobiles came out with new designs every year, we were always eager to see the new, it seems now that cad programs produce such a narrow range of shape that everything looks the same basically.
