-MacBook Air (all models):

No- the original only runs up to Lion.

Some corrections from someone with a lot of experience in this...

No. Only 2009+ MacBooks.

The late 2008 aluminum MacBook will run El Capitan.
Apple conveniently documents all this information: https://support.apple.com/kb/sp728?locale=en_US

This is true. I was thinking of plastic ones. Good catch

And – all the machines that can run El Capitan are supported under the Mojave patcher which is great. Excluding I think the 2007 MacBook Pros and iMacs unless the CPU is upgraded in the iMac. There might be others as well.
