No, you HAVE to be able to see, particularly well, in fact, to fly a plane. Perhaps someone can put the controls in your hands for a few seconds the same way a politician gets to “work the crane that erects the ceremonial first girder of a new civil building” with overwhelming supervision, but it’s all a ruse.

Then how do pilots takeoff, fly and land in the dark with heavy fog? It's called IFR, instrument flight rules. If you can read the instruments, you can fly a plane. I don't see why instruments couldn't be set up for a blind person.

Some disabilities can be overcome. Apparently these days loss of your legs can get you running even faster with special springy artificial running legs.
