For anyone that comes across this thread it should be noted that an SOIC adapter will not fit on the chip well enough got get reliable reads due to the smt resistors in close proximity. I imagine if you wanted to modify your clip you could force it but spend the cash and get the adapter.
I just ordered the clip and will try that with the Pi or Odroid C1 since the destroyer is out of stock and if I have issues I'll just get the destroyer when it's back in stock.

I have never had any issues with that model. If you have a problem with your clip fitting that resistor is easy to remove and re-attach.
2010 is the only year MBA with SOIC8 package EFI chip
2011+ all have wson8 chip packages, which the Pomona clip is NOT designed for. The Pomona is designed for SOIC8 packages only. That's why the adapters were developed.

The adapter is the way to go. As CygnusX1 stated you can probably get the SOIC clip to work but it's far less work and disassembly to use the adapter.
