An FAA certified pilot may operate a US registered aircraft anywhere, an any foreign registered aircraft in the US. To ferry an aircraft outside of the US would generally require the licence to match the Reg, but aircraft can be re-registered temporarily for delivery, and waivers are available for most things.
