I got her!! It was pretty interesting to watch come in too with the weather! They were cleared for 16R, but came in WAY to high and fast, called a go around and ended up landing 16L.

Great pic, Ryan. She came right over my house while I was sitting out front. Normally, a/c coming from that direction don't swing this far east; they take a more direct line over Mustang, but there was a nasty-looking storm cloud cell between here and Reno, so I watched her swing wide east of it and then loop to the west. She was low enough for me to ID her because I'd followed the (pic) link you'd posted earlier, so I knew what she looked like.

Exactly what I saw, that was a crazy cell and arrivals and departures where deviating all over the place. The lighting was amazing from the top of the parking garage. A few strikes were right on the east side of the airport
