Are these types of planes even needed now with all the satellites we now have monitoring every square inch of the earth.
Yes. Satellites are only capable of photographing perpendicular to ground.
Spy planes can photograph at an angle.
Look at a top-down picture of your house, like your county GIS or Google maps. Now imagine trying to see what is going on through a window. You can't. You can with a spy plane though because it photographs at a 30-60o angle.
I think the larger need - at least as far as surveillance - is Time: Satellites orbits being what they are, there isn't always a view available for a given target within a given timeframe. Also, a reasonably sophisticated opponent would be familiar with the satellite schedule and hide things they don't want to be seen. Certainly the Soviet Union used to adjust operations to do things when US satellites weren't around. With an aircraft, one may fly over and have a look pretty much whenever. The limitation, of course, is the risk of being shot down.
Another aspect is Types of Sensors: The package carried by an aircraft can be changed between flights. Or the Government may send multiple aircraft at the same time - each looking at different aspects - the resulting data could provide a much deeper view. Can't do that with Satellites.
Being a technical forum: Let's apply Moore's Law, presume the satellite is a few years old and flying around with the spy equivalent of an Intel Core 2. Does it's job, sure, but hardly the latest thing. With an Aircraft, they could do a Haswell rig just as soon as they can put it together and go fly. Also, the Core 2 in Space may be good enough to figure out what we want to take a special look at. Then we can follow up with something more powerful, as needed.
