Jets mock 'Fire John Idzik' airplane banner by flying 'Go Jets' on toy helicopter: Report

Here's one way to tell that Rex Ryan still has some say over his New York Jets team. Given the drama surrounding the floundering club, they still know how to poke fun at themselves.

At Thursday’s indoor practice, Ryan responded to Wednesday's hilarious “Fire John Idzik” airplane banner that flew over their outdoor facility by flying a miniature toy remote-controlled helicopter overhead. 

The toy chopper had a small banner hanging off it, about a foot long, which said: "Go Jets."

Rex said the toy helicopter was his idea. He said the message was "we're all in this together." #nyj

A Jets video staffer reportedly flew the plane for a couple of minutes during warm-ups at Thursday’s practice, which was held indoors because of rain. He quickly brought the plane down and carried it off the field.

Jets are practicing inside today and they had a mini-helicopter flying inside the fieldhouse. Looked like there was a Go Jets sign attached

After Wednesday's air strike, Ryan and more than a few Jets players said they thought the banner crossed the line.

Glad to see Ryan saw the funny side of it.
