One of my favourite aircraft in real life - I have a soft spot for old US 1930s-50s civilian radials. The Waco YMF-5 is a modern reproduction of 30's aircraft. There's one under rebuild here in Tauranga and another flying out of Ardmore.

Just got this one from Carenado....now to dig up some Jankees repaints

If I have to pick a favorite ... it's the last one.

A nice little aircraft. Open Cockpit and Biplane. flying like in another time...

EDIT:
I would like to add something 'emotional'. In my view, aircraft like this are what distinguishes the MSFS. It is a variant more suitable than for VFR-Simulation, more than ever before. It is clear that the Airbus freaks are now howling around, but actually they were in good hands in the Prepar3d, with hundreds of great replicas of major airports. If You need what's new, the re-creation of the landscape "already out of the bag", without any more addons, a small aircraft that is good for viewing the earth and does not require complex instrumentation makes more sense than complex process trainers.
to look at the world from above, I opted for the high-decker Cessna L-19 Bird Dog with a good view down, but of course everyone decides this for itselves.
This one is on the list. As a "reindeer" you have to start to become more economical...
