you can, but you need the right gas (argon from memory) and it's very difficult 
apparently

I always understood that you could not MIG weld aluminum. Is that correct ?

Actually, weld beauty depends more on the person doing the welding than
the type of welder being used.  You can lay down some very nice looking
welds with a MIG welder if you have a steady hand and you can lay down
some truly ugly welds with a TIG welder if you don't have a steady hand
(and foot).

TIG takes a lot longer to learn how to do it properly.
