The AH-64 Apache is an all-weather day-night military attack helicopter with a four-bladed main and tail rotor and a crew of two pilots who sit in tandem.

Well seeing that they had their engine debris baffles installed I would have to say that they intend to be parked for a little while.They put these in so birds don't start making nests in the engine while they are stationary for any amount of time.
I don't think they are sitting on the tarmac at baton rouge metro for nothing.
