The SR-71 flight manual can also be found here [0]. I was surprised to find the plane can be flown solo [1], and with no pressure suit below 50,000 feet [2].

There is also a section on "Tactical Limits" describing scenarios where exceeding normal operating limits is advised to exit a hostile area [3]

- darkpuma 8y ago> I was surprised to find the plane can be flown solo [1], Doubtlessly a consequence of the A-12 being flown solo. The SR-71 was a derivative of the A-12.
- CompelTechnic 8y agoLink [3] is hilarious in how banal it is- the same of the manual describes both how to defog your windows and how to GTFO if under hostile missile fire.
