No, it wasn't Stewart flying it. They didn't mention the pilots name on the show, I read that in at least 2 different accounts online, the P-51C in question being referred to as "Jimmy Stewart's P-51". I don't know if he owned a Mustang after the war. All I can say for certainty is that it was a civilian-liveried Mustang in 1953 that carried those reels. And man was it pretty.
