Back in the day there was a game called "Escape Velocity" that was essentially this but in space.

Yeah, space games like that are common enough, but the closest thing I know of set on Earth are age-of-sail games. I want my flying boat and air pirates and 1938 (or, fictionalized not-1938, whatever) cloak-and-dagger political intrigue, damnit.

There was also Skyrates! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skyrates
