That is consistent with this accident, in that witnesses reported seeing the airplane descending with both wings folded up before impact. The pilot of the accident airplane being a physician has rekindled a lurid stereotypical expression involving V-tail Bonanzas. local time, roughly three hours into the flight.

A Dunkin' in Jasper, GA made for makeshift flight planning space as we waited on fog to lift at Pickens County Airport. We taxied to the end of runway 34, ran the airplane up, then called Atlanta Center on the phone to get our instrument clearance from the ground. What kind of airplane is that?" Almost home.
