The advantage of reconnaissance aircraft over satellites is tactical flexiblility. Satellites can be tracked and their orbits make their approach predictable, whereas an aircraft can overfly an area at any time, which is why there will always be a need for such aircraft, manned or not. While I'm sure that stealth satellites are within the realm of possibility, they would have to be well camoflauged because they could still be tracked visually.
