Great for pilots who's eyes are constantly in the cockpit and too lazy to check the runway (tongue in cheek I know, however it all helps).
I'll set it up for Leongatha. I won't put any mention of the airport actually being open, as that would be a liability can of worms, but can get away with closing it via the image.
FWIW, I think that's a great idea!! It may not be "official", but anything that helps mitigate the Startle Factor has to be a good thing.
