Answer

The first is a bit literary. I think it's trying to find a slightly poetic way to say that the planes were getting into formation.
The second, Bore a heavy burden between them, means that the second two were carrying something heavy. 
The verb to bear. To carry. Can be applied to emotional weight too. I couldn't bear the shame...
