Can you identify this aircraft? It may even be a commercial jet adapted for training use.

North American Rockwell Sabreliner. It's military designation is the T-39. Navy designation would be CT-39.
The military ones had 3 windows while the civilian ones had 5 windows.

It is a Douglas DC-3. A propeller-driven aircraft. A successful plane during the 1930s and 1940s During World War II, many civilian DC-3s were drafted for the war effort and thousands of military versions of the DC-3 were built under the designations C-47 (Air Force), C-53, R4D, and Dakota. The emblem on the tail LOOKS like the 67th Intelligence Wing. It has the correct overall shape, 4 stars in the right place, etc. The wing did start up in the early forties, may have had name and emblem changes, however. This is iffy info. The type plane is a sure thing.

It is a Sabreliner in the civilian world. I'll defer to the previous answer about its military designation.
It certainly is NOT a Cessna Citation

Sabreliner, or T39 was originally a military trainer, now rebuilt by the Sabreliner Corp. for civilian use.

T39 is correct, and the military version only had a honey bucket, not a flushable toilet.
You use the toilet, you carry out the glad bag, unless you were a general of course.

That is a T-39 but the civilian version is a Sabreliner, not a Citation. The citation is known for its straight wing and that is definately swept. Here is a link to a T-39 picture. http://www.airliners.net/open.file?id=1160614&WxsIERv=Abegu%20Nzrevpna%20PG-39T&Wm=0&WdsYXMg=HFN%20-%20Znevarf&QtODMg=Crafnpbyn%20-%20ANF%20%2F%20Sbeerfg%20Furezna%20Svryq%20%28ACN%20%2F%20XACN%29&ERDLTkt=HFN%20-%20Sybevqn&ktODMp=Bpgbore%2018%2C%202006&BP=1&WNEb25u=Tnel%20Punzoref&xsIERvdWdsY=160056&MgTUQtODMgKE=Ba%20qvfcynl%20ng%20gur%20Angvbany%20Zhfrhz%20bs%20Aniny%20Nivngvba&YXMgTUQtODMgKERD=817&NEb25uZWxs=2007-01-06%2005%3A29%3A17&ODJ9dvCE=00&O89Dcjdg=306-106&static=yes&width=1024&height=702&sok=JURER%20%20%28nvepensg_trarevp%20%3D%20%27Abegu%20Nzrevpna%20AN-265%20Fnoeryvare%20%28G-39%29%27%29%20%20beqre%20ol%20cubgb_vq%20QRFP&photo_nr=17&prev_id=1162017&next_id=1159621
