Narrative:
We were being vectored for a base leg for ILS runway 9L at sfb. We were heading 280 degrees at 2000 ft. We were told to hold 210 degrees. Just as we started our turn, a plane was on top of us heading approximately 150 degrees. We both diverted, and we entered its wake turbulence. The plane was larger and faster, but I didn't get a good look at it. It was a close call. I was looking for traffic, but I couldn't see him. Approach was really busy and it was VMC, so I realized we were responsible for aircraft separation, but we were under the mode C veil. It was a near miss and with the way the planes were coming at each other it would be hard to see each other. I didn't say anything to approach. The frequency was really busy and I really didn't know what I would have said.

Title: C172 INSTRUCTIONAL FLT HAS NMAC BELOW THE MCO CLASS B AIRSPACE WHILE UNDER THE CTL OF MCO APCH CTL.
Narrative: WE WERE BEING VECTORED FOR A BASE LEG FOR ILS RWY 9L AT SFB. WE WERE HDG 280 DEGS AT 2000 FT. WE WERE TOLD TO HOLD 210 DEGS. JUST AS WE STARTED OUR TURN, A PLANE WAS ON TOP OF US HDG APPROX 150 DEGS. WE BOTH DIVERTED, AND WE ENTERED ITS WAKE TURB. THE PLANE WAS LARGER AND FASTER, BUT I DIDN'T GET A GOOD LOOK AT IT. IT WAS A CLOSE CALL. I WAS LOOKING FOR TFC, BUT I COULDN'T SEE HIM. APCH WAS REALLY BUSY AND IT WAS VMC, SO I REALIZED WE WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR ACFT SEPARATION, BUT WE WERE UNDER THE MODE C VEIL. IT WAS A NEAR MISS AND WITH THE WAY THE PLANES WERE COMING AT EACH OTHER IT WOULD BE HARD TO SEE EACH OTHER. I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING TO APCH. THE FREQ WAS REALLY BUSY AND I REALLY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD HAVE SAID.
