Welcome to the home of the Eagle Sport Aviation Club!  ESA is an organization of recreational flying enthusiasts from Daytona Beach, Florida and elsewhere.  The members of our Club own a unique mix of recreational aircraft and participate in competition aerobatics, soaring and flight in antique aircraft.  Many of the members of our Club are students, faculty or staff at area flight schools but the Club is open to and welcomes anyone interested in recreational flying!

Feel free to look at our website.  Hopefully you will see things that you like that will inspire you to come enjoy the art and sport of flying with us. Please use the toolbar above to navigate to the rest of the website; news about events and activities are usually posted in the members section. Be sure to check out our forums and our image gallery.

In Memory of our friend Phil Schacht

 We received a lot of comments and pictures that are posted on the forums and or our image gallery.

Thank you....

Gazing Skyward, with a questioning prayer.                 We are deeply saddened, that our friend is not                 there.                 He left so soon.  We wonder why.                 God took this spirit, who was meant to fly.                 He danced the sky with so much joy.                 With the excited heart of a little boy.                 Not just alive, but abounding with life.                 Happiest beside his loving wife.                 For a man so alive there can be no end.                 Though no longer near, he's still my friend.                 Not hindered by wings of metal or wood.                 He's flying in ways only angels could.                 He'll roll around heaven, loop around a star.                 But in our hearts, he'll never be far                 For at night when you look into the darkened blue.                  You will feel him looking back at you.                 Keeping vigil over the sky he once flew.                 Watching over me & watching over you.                 Try not to mourn.  Our friend can still fly.                 On angels wings, through a limitless sky.                            By Greg Youngs

Phil was a very active club member that helped the club immensely and has contributed a lot of time and passion to our community. For many of us Phil was an idol and a person of great respect. A lot of members were honored to share his enthusiasm and love for aviation. Phil has spent many hours of his life with our club and has helped us over many years. He has contributed into recent restoration of our Pitts S2-B and has inspired many new members to join his passion for aerobatic and recreational flying.
