Valdez, a Lyford Cay resident, who owned the downed aircraft. Though police were yesterday reluctant to confirm the victim's identity, several Lyford Cay residents and others who knew him confirmed it is Valdez, a Lyford Cay property owner, whose two young daughters attend Lyford Cay International School. The Nassau Guardian understands that Valdez and the others onboard were friends and family of Jeffrey Soffer, owner of the Fontainebleau Resorts in Miami. Soffer was at the property at the time of the crash, but it is still unclear if he was on the helicopter when it went down. The four survivors were airlifted to New Providence and Miami, Florida. All five people on-board are Americans, police confirmed. Daniel Figueroa, an aircraft mechanic at Fontainebleau Aviation at Opa-Locka Executive Airport (KOPF) in Miami, said he and several colleagues were saddened by the loss. "We all knew him at Fontainebleau," he said from Miami yesterday. "I received the call early Friday around 12:35 M. about the accident. He has a wife and a daughter (and was a) very nice man." Figueroa said that the helicopter belonged to Valdez. Several members of the Lyford Cay community remembered Valdez fondly yesterday. "He was a very loving husband and father to his wife and kids, who loved tennis and loved to travel," a Lyford Cay resident, who asked not to be named, said. She claimed she occasionally visited Valdez's niece at his home and "he will be greatly missed by those close to him". A second Lyford Cay resident and neighbor of Valdez, who also did not wish to be identified, said, "[His daughter was a] classmate of my daughter - tragic." A team from the Civil Aviation Department yesterday traveled to Abaco to investigate the crash, said Ivan Cleare, acting director of the Civil Aviation Department. "They are presently on the ground at Marsh Harbour en route to Baker's Bay to carry out the investigation,"? he said. "Until we hear from them, we cannot say anything further to this accident." He said the team of three would submit a preliminary report that he expects to make public by 3 today. A source at the resort, who witnessed the crash, said as the helicopter attempted to land it went into a tailspin twice before crashing, throwing one of the victims out of the cabin.
