Can you identify the plane in the picture?

If you blow up the photo and look carefully, the Squadron name is the USAF Bee Liners, which is the name of the 21st Air Lift Squadron.

I actually believe this is a Douglas C-54 Skymaster. You can see plane 7233-A in this photo

C-54D c\n 10858 type C-54D-15-DC prod line DC589 reg\tail #42-72753 72753 (c/n 10858) to MASDC Aug 4, 1964.

C-54 is the type of aircraft (Cargo)
D denotes improvements on the base model (C-54A,C-54B,C-54C)
-15-DC says that the aircraft was built by Douglas Aircraft Company
I believe the Prod line DC 598 is its place on the overall production line.
reg\tail # means 42 is the year the contract was let for the production run
72753 is the aircraft's registration number
C\N 10858 is the construction number of the Manufacturer in this case Douglas Aircraft.
To MASDC says the airplane was sent to the "Boneyard" at Davis Mothan in Arizona on August 4, 1964.
