American Airlines flight AA2587, a Boeing 737-800, was involved in an airprox incident with N738PG, a Cessna R182 Skylane RG.
While turning to final for an approach to runway 36L, the B737 received a TCAS RA because the Cessna R182 had suddenly turned southbound, in the opposite direction of the B737 at a slightly lower altitude.
ADS-B data suggest the horizontal separation was about 400 feet.
