Yasho,
I used to fly out of Hollister (3o7) and saw three or four RV's there. I don't know if any one of them were RV-8's because I was not familiar with the various models at the time.
Go on a Saturday. Lots of Warbirds, skydivers, gliders and homebuilders out doing their thing and, they are all nice people. The little cafe there (Ding-a Ling) is also pretty good for breakfast or lunch.
Good Luck
Steve
