'Jets rebuilding since 1969' banner flies over MetLife Stadium before game (PHOTO)

A little less than two hours before kickoff between the Jets and Steelers on Sunday, a small plane flew over MetLife Stadium with a banner that read "Jets rebuilding since 1969."

It was the second time in five days, a disgruntled New York Jets fan took to the sky to express disappointment with the current state of the team.

Although there wasn't a "Fire John Idzik" banner in the sky — like the one that made news last Wednesday — a fancy billboard with the same sentiment turned up near the stadium.

Considering that Jets ended a seven-game losing streak with Sunday's 20-13 win over the Steelers, it's easy to call this a banner week for Gang Green.

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.
