No idea what aircraft that is but it looks like the beginning to an awesome desk.
Also, I didn't realize how big it was until I noticed the chair on the left side.

I always have to check myself on scale browsing this sub...

I have no idea on the aircraft, but you can ask in r/aviation, they might have more detailed answers :)

With the red stripe on the nat'l insignia, you're looking at a portion of a post war aircraft wing. Maybe like this https://goo.gl/images/fCAXv1

You should get closer, look for part serial numbers, thats how they do it.

The only thing I found of interest was a label on one of the hydraulics that said Grumman.

It's a Grumman aircraft. Like someone already said, C-2 or E-2C. The opening towards the tip is a panel that is opened to hook the wings to the tail section when the wings are folded

It's from an ms-13.

Looks a bit like a P-51 because of the color.
Edit: at first glance it looked metallic

I'm not plane expert, but I'm pretty sure those were pretty much all made in natural metal finish, not white.

Huh. Look pretty metallic at first glance

US Navy insignia white, so that places it pretty firmly in the 1960-c1980s era. I'm sure training aircraft retained the white underside for longer.

Not 100% on this, but it looks like the right wing of a T-28...
My guess is either that or a T-34.
*apparently from the crosspost it's either a C-2 Greyhound or a Hawkeye
Seconding the T-28 guess, it's certainly the right shape and color for a straight-winged US Navy training aircraft of that vintage.
I don’t think that’s it. A small label on the hydraulics saves Grumman. Want that made by NAA?
I somt know anything about these aircraft but i would think It's entirely possible grumman was a subcontractor.
