Boeing 737-800 (N530AS) - Although runway 17L was the designated arrival-departure runway, ASA's N530AS is captured here as the first of three "wrong way" departures from the other end of 17L ... runway 35R.br /br /Departing toward the direction of oncoming aircraft making landing approaches is (to put it lightly) frowned upon.

Although runway 17L was the designated arrival-departure runway, ASA's N530AS is captured here as the first of three "wrong way" departures from the other end of 17L ... runway 35R.

Departing toward the direction of oncoming aircraft making landing approaches is (to put it lightly) frowned upon. However, the circumstances that existed at this time necessitated the decision to have aircraft arriving at RNO use the designated runway (17L-35R) while aircraft departing use the opposite end (35R-17L) and take off toward the approach path of arriving planes.

There are 3 runways at RNO; however, two of the three are closed. The only open runway is the second-longest one ... 17L-35R ... which is 9000 feet long. Repairs to the intersection of runways 17R-35L and 8-26 are being made, with the obvious result being that both of those runways are closed.

Great perspective with the mountains in back! Well done!
