i dont like those fighters with the engine in the nose, like the early su-20s and the sabre...

Having large protrusions like this EC-135E: http://www.airliners.net/open.file/0864811/M/

That, or just being out of proportion in general like certain new airbusses. ;)

Anything that doesnt have classic lines like the DC-3 is ugly.

This was already anwered: turning the cabin lights on with an elderly crew --
On a Continental Flight with a very "senior" flight attendant crew, the pilot said,  
"Ladies and gentlemen, we've reached cruising altitude and will be turning down the cabin lights. This is for your comfort and to enhance the appearance of your flight attendants."
