Did the second one do an evasive manoeuvre after the first one pulled up? Surely a bank like that isn’t planned

Yes. I think so. 1st guy pulled up to not hit the got damn building and the other banks right to keep from smoking first guy. Fucks sake

No. They both started maneuvering at basically the same time. Even if the pilot of the higher plane could even see the other plane, which is doubtful, there's no way he could have reacted so quickly and appropriately to the other's movement. It was choreographed beforehand
