I was born in 1964, so I did not see the original broadcast of Jonny Quest. But, I remember seeing the re-broadcasts on Saturday Morning Cartoons in the 1970s. Jonny Quest, along with Space Ghost, were two of my favorite cartoons. Here is Season 1, Episode 10: Shadow of the Condor. The Quests make an emergency landing in the Andes where a German World War I ex-fighter pilot wants to take on and kill Race in an aerial dogfight.

Jonny Quest (also known as The Adventures of Jonny Quest) is an American animated science fiction adventure television series about a boy who accompanies his scientist father on extraordinary adventures. It was produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions for Screen Gems, and was created and designed by the late comic book artist Doug Wildey. The show was inspired by radio serials and comics in the action-adventure genre, and featured more realistic art, human characters, and stories than Hanna-Barbera's previous cartoon programs. It was the first of several Hanna-Barbera action-based adventure shows—which would later include Space Ghost, The Herculoids, and Birdman and the Galaxy Trio—and ran on ABC in prime time on early Friday nights for one season from 1964 to 1965. On a visit to Japan, Dr. Quest finds that an old biologist friend (having gone insane) is breeding over-sized carnivorous lizards for the purpose of hunting human prey.

I was born in 1964 so, I did not catch the original broadcast of Jonny Quest. I did see the re-broadcasts when I was a kid in the 1970s. Along with Space Ghost, Jonny Quest quickly became one of my favorite Saturday Morning Cartoons. Here is S01E15 Turu the Terrible from December 24, 1964. Dr. Quest heads up the Amazon to the Land of the Turu in pursuit of high grade trinoxite, a new metal essential to the space program, unaware that "Turu" is a live pteranodon guarding the deposit.
