Aviation insights, pilot training tips, and entrepreneurship stories from the flight deck and beyond.
A commercial pilot used Python, NOAA forecasts, and Kelly Criterion sizing to build a Kalshi weather prediction bot. 217 resolved trades. 76.5% win rate. $1,773 paper profit. It went live with real money on March 28, 2026. Here’s exactly how it works.
