Guesses for new set:
61. John Phillips Sousa
62. Guatemala
63. snowflakes
64. shrimp, says Bigdog, based on the descriptor of "classic"
65. Well, I will say Paris because I think that is the answer the authors intended, but they left out the all-important descriptor of "trans-Atlantic". Certainly NY to Paris was NOT his first solo flight. Or maybe it was his first solo flight out of NYC to anywhere, which I would guess could make the Paris answer okay for all but us nitpickers.
66. emerald
67. Well, I think she was around 19 when they got married, so maybe 16, since it was a long courtship by a man in his late twenties with a teenager.
68. pipe
69. This could be another trick question, depending on how the author's define "highest", but since I have been to the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, I will go with that and say Dubai
