Howling winds at RNO with the ideal runway closed

Reno had howling winds recently:

wind 230 at 29 gust 51 at one point, and they're landing on the 16's since a KC-135 is parked on rwy 25, the ideal circling runway.

Those are honking winds.  It's a fascinating archive...you get to hear a pair of SWA guys go around....and around....and around.
