Modern fighter jets vary a lot in weight, range and speed. Fuselage (body ) weights can range from the Northrop F-5 Tiger flown by many air forces in the world at an empty weight of 9,500 pounds, up to typical medium all weather fighters like the F/A -18 at 23,000 pounds or the F-15 at 28,000 pounds. -Possibly the heaviest was the mighty F-14 Tomcat, flown by the US Navy starting with empty weight of 43,000 pounds. - (Empty body weight means no fuel, weapons or crew.)

It depends on the fighter jet. An F16 dry gross weight (just the structure and engines, without fuel and ammunition) weighs 18,900 lbs (8,570 kg). Loaded, it weighs 26,500 lbs (12,000 kg).
