...or at least a US "resident alien" green card. Or, you might consider
an American "strawman" (or woman) to be the registered owner of record.
A lot of European operators of "real" airplanes set up "a corporation in
a Post Office box," often in the US state of Delaware where it's very
inexpensive (around $50) to own aircraft operated in Europe with
N-numbers. Don't know if it would work for an Experimental.
Actually, I used to own one of the coolest N-numbers: N1KE. Had it on a
sailplane for years until a certain running shoe company with a
Gulfstream IV made me an offer I couldn't refuse. Still have the
sailplane, though...not to mention a closet full of running shoes...
