Spotting is different from maintaining visual contact. IRL, it is surely hard to detect / spot aircrafts, since most of them are camouflaged and blend easily to the environment. But once spotted, you can follow it easily. In game, it's just too much easy to have aircrafts which can turn on stealth mode and sneak away.
