Looks like a MiG-15, or more likely given the location, a Czech built S-102 or S-103. The S-102 was equivalent to the MiG-15, and the -103 was the copy of the MiG-15bis. Legend has it that the Czech-built examples were of a better quality than the Russian ones.

It's an S103 in Pribor. Google Earth co-ordinates: N 49 38 19.63 E 18 08 24.39.

Thanks to GE hacks for helping me find it, that was fun!
