You can... In the USA on an FAA license as long as your license qualifies you to fly it.

Overseas, in any other country ... NO.. The aircraft registration and your license must match.

I'd be very careful about this. A pilot with an FAA certificate can't fly a non-US registered aircraft solely on thier certifcate, even in the US. When in doubt check with the local FSDO.

Usually, in my past experience, a minimum of a validation from the the country where the aircraft is registered. In some cases a medical and air law exam is required prior to the issuance of a validation. This however was for large transport category aircraft. I'm not that familiar with the requirements for GA type aircraft.

You can under a few circumstances. Review 91.711 and 91.715 regarding FAA airspace. Outside USA who knows.

No a pilot with an FAA license cannot fly a non-us registered aircraft. ICAO allows for a non-us rated pilot to fly N registered aircraft with a validation letter but a US pilot cannot fly a non-us registered aircraft.

Yes..no..yes..no.

Clear as mud.

Better safe than sorry IMHO, call the Feds if you dare and get their "opinion/interpretation" on it.

I have imported non US registered airplanes before with an FAA license. You need an endorsement to do so which has a specific time frame... I can't remember if it was 3 or 6 months but was fairly short. If the plane has a recognized Airworthy certificate you may not need an additional ferry permit (91.715). The FSDO will tell you what you need/don't need and can/can't do.
