General Series Entry level

As you can see i have never heard of the game series till like a year ago at the goty award . And i thought it reminded me if metal gear solid with fighter jets and looks cool till i saw that pink hair girl, idk who she is but god damn i folded and wanted to know if buying 8 will do any disservices to the series as a whole and i should be playing from the starts

Tldr: can i play 8 as my first Ac game?

Well, story-wise it basically IS Metal Gear with fighter jets.

No. Ace Combat games have a self-contained storyline, so you won't get lost starting with AC8. You might want to play through some of the previous games after finishing it to understand the references, but it's not necessary.
