THE CFI AND STUDENT PLT WERE PRACTICING TOUCH AND GO LANDINGS. THE CFI SAID THE LANDING WAS LONG AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS NOT QUITE ALIGNED WITH THE RWY. BY THE TIME THE AIRCRAFT WAS REALIGNED AND UNDER CONTROL THE CFI THOUGHT THERE WAS INSUFFICIENT RWY TO STOP SO HE ADDED POWER TO TAKEOFF. THERE WERE TREES OFF THE END OF THE RWY AND THE ACFT CLEARED THE FIRST ROW OF TREES BUT COLLIDED WITH THE SECOND ROW AND CRASHED IN THE FIELD BEYOND.
