Sorry, but there are technological limits for this.
The Blue Max engine was done to support a maximum of 10 planes for 2 different reasons.
1) there is a limit of 4 plane in the same hex. If more than 4 planes enter in the same hex, the visual effect is awfull  . More planes around means more possibility than 5 planes fly on the same hex in the same time. As soon as it happens someone will ask us to fix this for sure, and we have no time to fixit now
2) Blue Max is already a very time consuming application. More planes means more time to compute a single move. This happens after the last player moved, because then a procedure check for every plane if it can fire, if there is a tail situation, the special damage effects and so on. This is going to be even more time consuming with the Observer, who has some special code dedicated to check who can be shot from the rear.
May be in the far future, when YouPlay will be running on a Cray  , we'll have enought horsepower for more planes, but not now, sorry.
