Clearly, aircraft with long ranges (such as the 767, 747, DC-10, etc., etc.) can be flown directly from the US to any nation, so delivery is no more complicated than flying to the appropriate country. What about the shorter-range aircraft, like the 727 and 737? How do they get from the US to, say, the middle east? Are their ranges just long enough to make it from New York to London? -- \ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | / - Michael weiss@seas.ucla.edu | School of Engineering & Applied Science - - Weiss izzydp5@oac.ucla.edu | University of California, Los Angeles - / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | \
