Wild Goose Chase Memorial Tour Leg 7

Leg 7 — OAKB → ORMM

Mission: Continue the military remembrance portion of the tour by visiting Basrah, Iraq, where Goose served in 2007.

📖 The Bonds We Carry

In military life, places matter—but people matter more. Deployments create friendships and bonds that often last decades. Shared hardship has a way of connecting people unlike almost anything else. In 2007, Goose served near Basrah during another significant chapter of British military operations overseas. The landscape below may appear harsh and unforgiving, yet it is also where countless acts of professionalism, courage, and camaraderie occurred. As the aircraft approaches Iraq, the focus turns not toward conflict but toward the people who stood beside one another through it.
