Colin,

I don't have prints - but I do have lots of photos and access to the bird at Boeing Museum:

Technically it's an M-21 (mothership) for the D-21 Drone...

I've seen prints online (at a NASA site?) - but if I remember correctly - they sucked...
<edit>- I think this is the link: http://www.sr-71.org/blackbird/diagrams/</edit>

I have seen a couple books with prints - if you can't find decent prints elsewhere - let me know.

Can't wait to see your blackbird!! (Aren't You Done Yet?)

Hope This (http://www.sr-71.org/blackbird/diagrams/) is of some help. Click on the drawings, not the titles.
There's a cockpit pic that might be of use Here (http://www.pilotfriend.com/photo_albums/timeline/postwar_mil/2/56.htm), too.

Colin - I've got some shots from a previous visit.
Check your email...

Kiwi - When were you over here???

I was over there....13 years ago. Had a tour through the boeing plant as well, very impressive stuff, the 777 had just made its maiden flight.

OK - I was worried that I had missed your visit!
The museum is going downhill - it's hard to get clean shots of the whole planes anymore...
