The stock game does ever do the airplane contacts. However, the Japanese did have some aircraft with phenomenal range like the Kawanishi flying boat. Even some of their fighters like the nimble Zero could fly long distances. In reality aircraft might also be 'island hopping'. In transit from one island base to another which would greatly extend their range. However, if you run into one mid-Pacific it does stretch credulity.
