Can a plane crash into a star??

Stars are basically giant balls of gas that are in a constant state of burning.
There is no surface to crash into.

The real question isn’t whether or not planes interact with generic stars, but how they react with six-pointed stars.

Crashing into a star is what brought down TWA 800. It wasn't a fuel tank explosion or a Navy missile, it was a star that had suddenly dropped too low. Stars do that, they aren't stationary in altitude.
 
Commercial airplanes generally don't fly higher than 42,000 feet of altitude, while the flight altitude record is at 135,906 feet of altitude in a balloon. In contrast, the nearest star is at 490,806,624,000 feet of altitude, and the next nearest star is at 124,156,600,000,000,000 feet of altitude. It takes quite a bit of training, but pilots can fly safely without colliding into stars. The bigger danger is your mother, which is a much more nearby astronomic body.
