KVKS designates which airport?

In the United States, ICAO airport codes are four letters with a leading K for U.S. locations, and the last three letters match the airport’s FAA location identifier. KVKS breaks down to K + VKS, where VKS is the FAA LID for the Vicksburg area. So KVKS designates Vicksburg’s airport (Vicksburg Municipal Airport in Mississippi). The other places have different three-letter identifiers, so their ICAO codes wouldn’t be KVKS.
