Bad example, it's more like Finland's WW1 planes which might surprise some people
That’s a bad example, finlands air regalia was developed by a fascist.
Actually, I think that the opposite of a bad example. If I see you flying that flag, I'm not going to assume your an enthusiast of finish WW1 aviation.
I chose the swastika specifically because some other people used the symbol at some point and had it ruined for them. That's a thing that happens to symbols, they get associated with shitty stuff and you stop showing the symbol, convince people to drop the objectionable meaning, or accept that people will think you endorse the shitty one.
