Well since we are talking about second airplanes, I began my training with an Ugly Stick. It was lost before I was able to solo. My solo was done on a Bridi trainer .20. 2 weeks after my solo the trainer was lost in a midair ( my first of about 10 or so ). My dad was an avid Q500 pilot at the time and that's where I was headed but had expected to have more time with the trainer. So there I was 3 weeks after my solo standing behind 3 screaming Q500 airplanes waiting for the start flag to drop.
