Its maiden flight was on 10 May 1972.

It was first introduced in 1977.

Not sure how you mean that. I was stationed at Davis-Monthan AFB from
June 1975 to 9 July 1976 when I was discharged from my 4 year hitch.
Somewhere around September or October of 1975 they began phasing out
the A-7D's and brought in the A-10's. I remember that they were a very
light blue color.

That's interesting... I visited D-M in March of 1977, there were still a
squadron or so of A-7s as well as lots of spanking new Warthogs. My sun-
fried brain recalls the A-10 color as a slightly greenish shade of light
gray, with a more neutral and just a tad darker gray countershading on the
upper surfaces.

Must find slides.

After finding clues...
