During a go-around, following a bounced landing, the airplane impacted trees approximately 1/2 mile from the departure end of the runway. According to the student, he and the instructor were practicing touch and go landings on runway 22. Following the student's bounced landing, the instructor took control and executed a go-around. The student reported that after the airplane climbed above the trees off the end of the runway, the instructor retracted the flaps, and the airplane sank into the trees. According to the instructor, he was unable to maintain altitude 'due to mechanical turbulence above the trees.' The instructor reported that the winds were variable but predominantly from the south. Reported winds at Tulsa, 13 nm west of the accident site, were from 120 degrees at 5 knots.
