Centaurus: my once said that he almost got rolled over when pushing up the throttle to quickly during a go-around in an (P) F-51 in the mid-50s. but

I can easily imagine such problems with a single-engine turboprop, especially as almost all have constant-speed props (?) and the engines are not as complex as with recips, allowing faster throttle movements. Anything with a single Garrett or Allison (i.e. similar to the T-56 in P-3s, C-130s etc) might be extra demanding.

A Pilatus single-engine would be fun, not to mention a classic, twin-engine Bandit Emb-110.
