Wing Commander CIC

Hey, urm, i don't post here very often, infact ive only ever posted here once b4 but i was hoping u could help me..
i was looking though the news archive at wcrevival.com and noticed two pics from the pilots hand animation file from wc1, one were the guy is sticking his middle finger up and one were he is giving the thumbs up, the pics are on this page

I was just wondering if it was actually possible to get the guy to do this in the game?
