Not Ranked
I was reading an article about scraping air planes a couple of months ago. It seems to be a brisk buisness. Some parts sell for surprisingly BIG money, the engines are, of course, quite valuable themselves. But plenty of other useable parts abound on an aircraft (landing gear goes for big bucks). In some cases, like cars, the value of the parts can exceed the value of the complete aircraft.
Once the plane is stripped typically the body is sold for scrap, recycled. That won't be much with Roush's Beechcraft though, I think that body is mostly carbon fiber and such.
Never the less, there are used parts dealers who will step up and make an offer. Parts will be stripped, cataloged, shrink wrapped and put in a wharehouse awaiting a buyer. I'm pretty sure the plane itself is "toast".
