I have always wondered why the brewster had it on its side in the game. BTW you cant swing a dead cat in tibet without hitting it. I was shocked to see it in restaurants, temples even manhole covers.

The Finnish swastika has no relation to the swastika used by Nazi Germany.  The Finns used the swastika long before Nazi Germany did, a Swedish count had donated some planes to the Finns and had painted on the planes a white swastika.  The symbol was part of the Swedish count's coat of arms, symbolizing luck.  The Finns decided to keep it.

Finns had the blue swastika on their planes since 1918.
From wiki :

on Rosen had painted his personal good luck charm on the Thulin Typ D aircraft. This charm – a blue swastika, the ancient symbol of the sun and good luck – was adopted as the insignia of the Finnish Air Force. The white circular background was created when the Finns tried to paint over the advertisement from the Thulin air academy.[4] The swastika was officially taken into use after an order by Commander-in-Chief C. G. E. Mannerheim on 18 March 1918. The FAF changed its aircraft insignia after 1944, due to an Allied Control Commission decree[5] prohibiting Fascist organizations and it resembling the Third Reich's swastika.

They only removed it from their aircraft. The swastika is still used on FAF flags and uniforms.

the thing about heritage is kind of funny.  for example if I lived in the south and set up a large Canadian flag on a pole next to my house, that would be a nono.  why cant I also celebrate my Canadian heritage?

In N.M. you see more clothing, stickers and flags of Mexico than the U.S.
It's never been a big deal here, some folks are proud of their heritage.

It is improper in any state to do so without the US flag being most prevalent.

Actually the “Saltire” has wide cultural implications especially for those of Anglo-Scots-Irish decent. To say unequivocally that the CSA battle flags lacks any semblance of heritage is ignorant at best and abjectly retarded at worst.

Confusing history for cultural heritage is rather ignorant. Whether or not you are actually mentally retarded is beside that point.
