Lots of O-2 Skymasters flying formation. The A-7's had only been flying there for a couple years at that point too. The brand new A-10's showed up in March 1976 at Davis Monthan and began flying a lot there.
Skies were definitely busy over Tucson back in the mid 1970's. Occasional F-4's out of Luke in Phoenix would show up too.
Yup, I was there from ‘68-‘84. Witnessed the pilot punch out of the Corsair over the U of A campus in 1978.
