These Government reprint copies range in price from $99.95 for the SR-71 to $49.95 for the YF-12A Manual. The SR-71 Manual is over two inches thick and contains a wealth of information about the characteristics and limitations of the aircraft. There are 1,052 pages less those Sensor pages that is still considered classified information. These manuals are also called the Pilot's Flight Manual or the -1. The reprint quality is excellent and I think for the money they are a great investment as a reference. The first reprints of the SR-71 Flight Manuals were sold on eBay some years back for $400-$500. This new edition of the SR-71 Flight Manual contains 40 additional pages that were previously classified in the older reprint.
