Mason Dunn re-lands at News 9…

A couple of nights ago, Oklahoma was treated to a rare edition of January severe-weather theater after a band of cold, slightly tornadic storms blew through the state, leading reporters, storm chasers, and helicopter pilots to drop their winter weather gear for raincoats and galoshes.

You know, people like famed local chopper pilot Mason Dunn.

A favorite of local weather viewers, he worked at News 9 from the 1990s through 2011, when he was unceremoniously fired and replaced by former KFOR chopper pilot Jim Gardner.
