Narrative:
Captain said 'airport in sight.' approach cleared us for visual approach to runway 34L. Captain called for 'gear down, landing check.' I did these items, going heads down. When I came up, I was about to tell him I still did not see the airport. Just at that time, I heard the controller say we were lined up for runway 34R. I acknowledged 'correcting left for runway 34L.' the captain turned left and overshot runway 34L. I stated 'the airport and runway 34L are now at 1 O'clock position becoming 2 O'clock position.' he acknowledged and turned back right for runway 34L. There were no traffic conflicts. The flight was completed uneventfully. I think the captain called the airport before he saw it.
