I found these two videos interesting regarding the SR-71, as presented by a former Blackbird pilot:
Cockpit walkthrough (20 mins):

Longer discussion about the aeroplane (1hr 20mins):

An amazing gentleman to talk to not just about the SR71 but his tour on the F4 phantom sounded hairy at times as well.
Recommend one of his frequent talks at Duxford around their SR71 as he knows pretty much every nut and bolt on what is not a small aircraft.

An easy to understand video about the J58
