Well done and yeah, it's a bit colder than normal here. Should be around low 50's this time of year, otherwise the snow is about right. Hope you enjoyed UND!

So what are some of the differences between a 172 and a CRJ?

So what are some of the differences between a 172 and a CRJ?

Well they said the 172 is harder to fly since the CRJ is all automated pretty much. They told me also to enjoy the 172 (which I do) since the 172 is flying at it's core.
