Yes.

Eighth Edition cards are [legal in Modern](http://magic.wizards.com/en/gameinfo/gameplay/formats/modern).

Air Elemental is [legal in Modern](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Printings.aspx?multiverseid=45255), no matter what set it's from[1], because it's found in a legal set.

While this isn't relevant to Air Elemental (since its text never changed), keep in mind that the text printed on the card is irrelevant; one always uses the Oracle text and other information found in Gatherer to determine the characteristics of a card.
