Two More GA Aircraft Down this morning

Seems the RC3 guy (or at least the owner) was a ATP/CFI those in a EMB

Local couple based at KGIF, he's 84 and usually in his hanger everyday tinkering around with his Seabee, he took off with his wife on board this morning and was really struggling to gain height, just about cleared the trees at the end of R5 gained a bit of height then disappeared from view as he went down, strange thing is there is a lake right at the end of the runway, lots of float planes put down there. Why he didn't put down on it I don't know ?

Thankfully both are stable in hospital with non life threatening injuries so will be able to report exactly what went wrong.
 
Glad to hear of survivors, hope they make full recoveries.
