I second Sailor Steve the "tubby" fuselage and straight wings tips and twin tail makes me think first of a C-119.Hard to say though the description is limited and there are a number of planes that could fit.The fairly tubby bit makes me think C-119 and they where painted in the South East Asia pattern during Nam someone could have easily decided to paint one OD green though according to a website I found the only flying examples in the US are in Alaska.Another possible match is the C-123 it has only a single tail but fits the general description it could also have been a C-8 Buffalo another single tail but generally fitting the description.
