  22. This had me wondering something.  Clearly, aircraft with long ranges (such as
  23. the 767, 747, DC-10, etc., etc.) can be flown directly from the US to any
  24. nation, so delivery is no more complicated than flying to the appropriate
  25. country.  What about the shorter-range aircraft, like the 727 and 737?  How
  26. do they get from the US to, say, the middle east?  Are their ranges just long
  27. enough to make it from New York to London?
