Ike has a very tiny “pinhole” eye,
can the planes make it through that pinhole eye?

Sure - The eye is 4-5 miles across. Which is small for a hurricane, but plenty of room for a plane. Small eye is harder to find, but modern GPS signals from satellites mean the plane’s navigator doesn’t need to depend on stars or radar or old Loran-type radio navigation signals.
