Tailspin is definitely one of those shows where you don't want to overthink the premise and just accept what you see. Repurposed Jungle Book characters working as air freighters and fighting off sky pirates in a quasi-futuristic art deco seaside metropolis? Sure, what the hell, why not?

Nowadays I feel like people would be quick to write off such premises as 'lol zee randumb bullshit.' But it cannot be understated that shows like Tailspin (along with video games of that era like Super Mario and Final Fantasy, many of which had a similar hard-to-pin-down aesthetic) did wonders for expanding my sense of creativity at a young and impressionable age.

Agreed. They just seemed to focus on telling an adventure story using whatever properties they had, and then just creating their own characters.

It isn't the first time Disney has done this. On the childhood favorite Darkwing Duck, his sidekick was Launchpad who was already on Ducktales and it seems clear it's the same person yet they seem like 2 separate shows, can't remember if they're even in the same universe.
