Narrative:
After bonham we had to make numerous turns to avoid WX cells. We were very busy and both of us thought we were assigned runway 17C for our landing. When we finished our vectors we were to the right of runway 17C. They cleared us to intercept so we intercepted runway 17C at approximately 18 DME. The controller asked us why we were lined up with runway 17C. He told us we should be on runway 17L. We corrected and finished the approach.

Narrative: AFTER BONHAM WE HAD TO MAKE NUMEROUS TURNS TO AVOID WX CELLS. WE WERE VERY BUSY AND BOTH OF US THOUGHT WE WERE ASSIGNED RWY 17C FOR OUR LNDG. WHEN WE FINISHED OUR VECTORS WE WERE TO THE R OF RWY 17C. THEY CLRED US TO INTERCEPT SO WE INTERCEPTED RWY 17C AT APPROX 18 DME. THE CTLR ASKED US WHY WE WERE LINED UP WITH RWY 17C. HE TOLD US WE SHOULD BE ON RWY 17L. WE CORRECTED AND FINISHED THE APCH.
