00:00 Road Study
A new study reveals that Arizona's roads are in desperate need of repair, with over 20,000 miles of state and county roads and 200 bridges requiring an astronomical $4.7 billion to fix. The study suggests a percentage tax on gasoline could be the answer to this massive problem, but politicians have been wary of increasing the tax. John Kain reports.

01:55 Military enlistment
Unprecedented numbers of young people are enlisting in the military, with many facing wait times of up to eight months for their desired jobs.

Phoenix is considering a high-tech solution to combat the alarming number of accidents involving fire trucks, with 80 incidents reported last year alone.

06:02 Flying military gas station
Seven KC-135 jet refuelers are constantly training at Sky Harbor Airport, ready to be deployed at a moment's notice should war erupt. These "flying gas stations" extend the range of other military aircraft, and their crews are always on alert, never knowing if a practice alarm is a real-life call to action. Lisa Allen reports.

A dazzling new antique store has opened in Scottsdale, offering a treasure trove of luxurious English antiques with jaw-dropping prices that would make anyone's head spin. The collection, featuring a $19,500 Chippendale's artist table and a Swiss music box that plays eight selections, is a dream come true for its owners. Sal Quijada reports.

11:11 Post office kids
Elementary school students are getting a crash course in postal service mysteries, with the Phoenix postmaster himself visiting to answer their burning questions.
