   In my VB2008 project if I have created a class called Aircraft.   
   For testing I have hard coded 2 aircraft into my project (as seen below).   
   Ultimately I will want an unlimited number of aircraft to be read from a   
   database or text file.   
   How does one initialise an unknown number of Aircraft objects? As it appears   
   each object instance needs to be assigned to a variable.   
   One idea I had was to write a function (or perhaps "method" in this OOP   
   world) that redims an array to a larger size each time it is called and then   
   initialises a new aircraft object and assigns it to the new position at the   
   end of the array.   
   Surely there is a more correct way of doing this, I have read through the   
   object section of the help many times and cannot find an example of what to   
   do here. All the examples tend to deal with only 2 or 3 instances of an   
   object.   
   Any tips would be appreciated.   
      
   Thanks in advance
