That would be great to mark targets as well. You could use a smoke object.. if you could get it to act as ordinance and change the color..

well one of the mosquitoes (at least if not other a/c i havnt tried) already has this in-game....its really a matter of making it a loadout for other aircraft...so that it can be used for certain other applications. i do think it would be cool though to have ground launched flares for takeoff/landing instructions instead of the horrendous radio instructions "go around" type stuff. that's the real trick.
