Anyone have any idea what this plane is?

Got any better angles?

Almost looks like a Lavochkin... almost.

Looks like RAAF markings.

Not to me. Looks like there's a highly faded star in the middle of that roundel. Looks post-war to me.

What's the country that has the red star in the middle like that? Croatia? Czech republic? Something balkan-ish.

Yes forgot to mention, served in Yugoslavia and was downed between 1990. and 1995.

Well if it's a single-engine prop plane in 1995 it's obviously going to be some kind of trainer.

Looks like a T-6 or SNJ. Two seater with 2 bladed prop.

This angle looks close.

According to Wikipedia the Yugoslavs did operate T6s
