>Can someone explain to me how small Boeing/Airbus/Embraer/Saab/Etc planes are delivered to foreign places?

If you ever read Airways magazine they occasionally have articles about these delivery flights.

They're usually a fun read. Recent examples that spring to mind are an article about Frontier taking delivery of an Airbus narrowbody and flying it from France to Denver (no paying passengers - Just Frontier employees on a jaunt) and a new Flying Skidoo turboprop hopping its way from Canada to Scandinavia. These articles always seem to include a required picture on a life raft strapped to one of the seat rows
