Abstract: We study the Sturm--Liouville operator ${\displaystyle }$ T(varepsilon)y=-frac{1}{varepsilon}y+ p(x)y, ${\displaystyle }$ with concrete $mathcalPT$-- symmetric potential $p(x)=ix$ and Dirichlet boundary conditions on the segment $[-1,1]$. Here $varepsilonin(0,infty)$ is a physical parameter. We explicitly describe a beautiful phenomenon of the eigenvalue behavior when $varepsilon$ changes from $0$ to $infty$. All the critical values of $varepsilon$ which determine the eigenvalue dynamics, are found in terms of the special Airy functions.
