Does anyone know how much the scrap metal from on is worth?


It depends on condition, quatity, alloy, etc, and varies day to day,
but a rough rule of thumb would be on the order of $0.25/lb for
aluminum and $0.10/lb for steel.

An F-14 weighs about 40,000 lb and assuming a 50-50 mix of steel
and aluminum by weight gives about $7,000 minus the labor to get
it to scrap.
