Sure.  Johnny's father was the chief scientist of a massive
industrial combine, and they flew all over the place in a delta-winged
jet, flown by their companion, Race Bannon.  I think
the Indian (India, not U.S.) kid's name was, uh, Hadji, I think.
The dog's name was Bandit.

Most of the episodes were pretty good.  Except for one where a 
mummy came to life.  Everyone knows you can't do that without
reading from the appropriate scroll or using Tana Leaves.

Which reminds me of a funny scene in the first Rocky and Bullwinkle
serial (the longest, by far, of them all, called "Jet Fuel" on the
film cans...)  They need to help the moonmen get fuel for their
spaceship.  They look at the fuel "recipe."  We only see it for
about 1/4 second, but two of the items I definitely remember
were crushed light bulbs and three Tana Leaves...
