Subject: decreasing viscosity of high temperature (ionized) air

Does anybody know why the viscosity of high temperature (ionized)
air decreases from T > T(visc-max) (from Gupta et al., NASA-RP-1260, 1991)
-- instead of increasing as in "standard" gases ?

We are working on the building of a 1MW induction-heated air plasma
torch at 5-175 mbar. We have a homepage.
