Wow!  For a Mooney's wings to fold up during flight,,, that is odd....  The entire wing is one piece, hell for stout I'm told. 
T&P for the families.

We have had severe winds the past few days here in north TX in front of this most recent cold front that I would suspect made for more than "moderate" turbulence at low altitudes.

Absent any other info, bad weather for flying, that's for sure.

spoke to my cousin yesterday, still no real news.

we talked it thru... gotta be medical or mechanical. and when i say mechanical there was catastrophic 'something'. to warm for icing, he was cleared to 6 so that is likely (but not for sure) where the tops were...

Time is minutes:seconds into the recording

mm:ss
13:46 N57672 gets takeoff clearance

16:17 N57672 gets clearance to 6,000 and direct to DELAT

21:30 Numerous attempts to contact and finally scout out wreckage from other aircraft

flightaware link adds more confusion after listening to the recording b/c there was no emergency declaration or comms with center... whatever happened, happened very quickly.
