    (54) Paired flying disks


    (57) Paired flying disks utilizing in-flight aerodynamic induced separation. A second disk (20) is nested within a first disk (10) so that such can be easily thrown together as one flying disk and provide repeatable vertical separtion in flight. The outer or larger disk has vanes above corresponding openings (19) and/or holes employed in the body of the disk to divert air from the top side or other location to the underside thereof to assist the separation of the disks from one another in flight. After separation, both disks follow the same flight direction making it possible for a single person to consistently catch both of the disks.
