Overheard in IFR Magazine's "On the Air"

While on a Bay tour near San Francisco, a Cessna 172 pilot received an instruction from San Francisco tower to turn to a heading of 120 degrees for noise abatement.

Cessna:
"Noise abatement?"

ATC:
"Yeah. Did you ever hear the sound a Cessna makes when it hits a 747?"
