I hate to sound like a choosy beggar, but any chance of putting it on a less-skeevy download site? How about a Dropbox link?
Sure thing: https://www.dropbox.com/s/i5eucyo7gm67bv6/SR-71%20Blackbird%... I don't really use dropbox any more so bayfiles was just the first thing that came to my mind, it's better than most free file hosting sites (no waiting and no excessive throttling)

I flew an L-39 with inoperative ejection rockets. The bailout procedure was: 1. Roll inverted. 2. Trim full nose down. (Down = skyward at this point.) 3. Blow canopy. 4. Fall out.
I liked "Maximum altitude is 85,000 feet. Do not fly over 85,000 feet unless you have prior authorization" "No turns are allowed over 70,000 feet. Descend 2,000 feet prior to making any turns is recommended"
Not your run-of-the-mill airplane, that's for sure...

18.1i Crossing Crevasses ... If a snowmobile or sled starts to break through a snowbridge, experience and circumstances will dictate whether to brake and attempt to hold the fall, or continue driving forward in hopes of getting across before a catastrophic collapse of the snowbridge. In either case, a change of underwear is recommended.

Must be nice to have that luxury. The same emergency in the AH-1Z basically says "good luck." Granted, a hydraulic failure of two redundant and independent systems is astronomically unlikely (and the outcome will almost certainly be fatal).
Triple system failure https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Airlines_Flight_232
“The crew contacted United maintenance personnel via radio, but were told that, as a total loss of hydraulics on the DC-10 was considered "virtually impossible", there were no established procedures for such an event.”

So... What do you suppose the chance is you would have hit the tail fin?
