Aircraft was at 3000 ft MSL, 050 degree heading. Norfolk approach states 'turn left immediately to 360 degree heading. Pop up target 12 O'clock same altitude.' as I started the turn, a cessna 150 passed our right wing at the same altitude and less than 500 ft horizontal. There was no aircraft damage, no injuries to 14 passenger. Controller stated that the cessna just turned on transponder.
