That's my entire point - provinces are large, and one aircraft wing flying through should not automatically spot a few divisions (unless it's open desert or something). In HOI2 having any aircraft over a province, for any reason, detected what was in that province.
Of course a planned reconnaissance run would find them, I didn't mean to suggest they wouldn't. But a wing of strategic bombers passing through wouldn't, nor would a wing of fighters (who usually cruise at relatively high altitude). As it stands, they do, and I believe this should be changed. The forest thing could simply represent a slightly harder form of terrain in which to find units. A simple overfly of a desert province would reveal whatever is there, but that same overfly would not reveal the same amount of intel in different terrain.
EDIT: For game purposes, I'll make the following suggestion.
i) Planes not actually conducting a mission (i.e. just passing over) in the province in question should see very little. What they see could be modified by terrain, so in open terrain they see more and in close terrain less.
ii) aircraft might be ordered to conduct recon over a given region, and they would see much more of what is there.
