Narrative:
While tracking the ILS into myf; on a VFR flight; we might have crossed into class B airspace. Note: the localizer/ILS course comes really close to class D airspace from see and the san diego class B; leaving only less than a 1 mi wide area and 4000 ft of altitude to clear it. Also; if the localizer is followed from 10 NM out it will also enter class B airspace for about 7 mi to the 17 DME from myf. We were advised of this issue; by myf ground upon landing; but no phone number was given to us for calling.
