Flight assist off! Any 180 J-turns in combat like in the trailer?

Hi. Just wondering if anyone playing ED has ever done a 180/J-turn while in combat like in this video at 1:05:

Which is similar to this:

With a Cobra? Not a chance. Far from it. With an eagle or a vulture, you can reverse pretty fast with boost and FA off, but certainly not that fast.
This trailer is actually nothing like the game, appart from the ships and station designs.

You can, and I have. Maybe not as quickly as in the video, but it is quite doable. I have done it in Vulture, Python and even Anaconda.
But in FAoff I don't apply thrusters after I have turned around, only keep drifting at blue zone speed with thrusters turned off, and blast away at pursuing opponents.

What I want to know is what the badass in the Type 9 Battlecow was doing during all that fighting. You see him swagger towards his ship at the start and then never again in the trailer. He didn't jump out with the Cobras and Anaconda, did he die? :S

Or maybe he found a really good trade route and said "LOL I got this, you guys go fight at that other station."
