But the problem is the plane moves. Is there a way the x and y coordinates for the bomb to spawn follow the plane?

First, please delete 3 of your 4 posts. (and next time, make sure to see whether your post went on the next page or not ;) )
Second, using a table for the plane's data like for the bombs, you can get the plane's x and y position in the bomb spawning function; so you'll always spawn the bombs where the plane is, even if you moved it.
Edit: apparently i managed to misread the question, sorry about that; look at S0lll0s' answer instead.

Me and my stuff :3True Neutral Aspirant. Why, yes, i do indeed enjoy sarcastically correcting others when they make the most blatant of spelling mistakes. No bullying or trolling the innocent tho.

or you just update the bombs with their own speed, you set the x-velocity (speed) when you spawn them and add it to the x coordinate every frame. Otherwise if you fly zig-zag the bombs will do that too, which will be pretty weird.
