I sugest you first start with a prop plane. Starting with a jet is very dificult and you will probably loose time and money with this.
When you are ready for a jet I recomend the F-16, F-15 or L-39. This are very stable and easy to fly jets. My personal choice would be either the F-16 or the L-39.
Here are a couple of videos:

Anyway, again I strongly suggest you start first with a prop plane. When you fly a basic prop good, go into a fast prop like a patriot or similar or go with a WWII like a corsair or P-51. This two last ones will teach you power handling and dealing with higher wing loading.
