Narrative:

I was lead plane of a 3 plane formation over an airshow. My aircraft had 4 jumpers, the 2 aircraft in trail were to circle the jumpers on their way to the surface. While on final approach to the airport, I accidently climbed 500 ft above our waiver altitude (5000 ft MSL). While at this altitude we saw an ATR-72 pass in front by 500 ft. No evasive action was taken, it was at this time we descended back down to waiver altitude and concluded the jump. I feel better radio communications with approach and or tower would have provided better separation.

Title: PLT OF A 'JUMP' SMA SEL PENETRATED THE TCA (CLASS B) AIRSPACE AND OUTSIDE OF AIRSHOW WAIVERED AIRSPACE, RESULTING IN A NMAC WITH AN MDT.

Narrative: I WAS LEAD PLANE OF A 3 PLANE FORMATION OVER AN AIRSHOW. MY ACFT HAD 4 JUMPERS, THE 2 ACFT IN TRAIL WERE TO CIRCLE THE JUMPERS ON THEIR WAY TO THE SURFACE. WHILE ON FINAL APCH TO THE ARPT, I ACCIDENTLY CLBED 500 FT ABOVE OUR WAIVER ALT (5000 FT MSL). WHILE AT THIS ALT WE SAW AN ATR-72 PASS IN FRONT BY 500 FT. NO EVASIVE ACTION WAS TAKEN, IT WAS AT THIS TIME WE DSNDED BACK DOWN TO WAIVER ALT AND CONCLUDED THE JUMP. I FEEL BETTER RADIO COMS WITH APCH AND OR TWR WOULD HAVE PROVIDED BETTER SEPARATION.
