As I understand it: (disclaimer!)
The airplanes are flown to VCV by their pilots and are on a schedule as to when they will arrive. Those are public record as being bought by us, so if they are still actively flying there, they are still scheduled for delivery.
When one comes over from what I have gathered, their pilots ferry it on a four day trip across the pacific to VCV where we take position. A few of the flights have been tracked and posted on here over the last year.
