Doc is probably more ready for free flight than I am.
The last two days he's been flying 100' to the lure, instant response, catching it in the air. He's very steady on the ground, allowing me to walk up and tid bit him on the lure and steps off to the glove with no problem. He's only tried to drag the lure away once and I was probably a little too fast walking up to him.
He's spending the day on his shelf perch unhooded and still takes the hood well. I usually hood him while he's eating on the glove.
I'm still undecided on my next step. I'm leaning towards putting him on a kite for the first week of free flying. I think it will help keep him close and will help to establish a good routine. We'll see.

sounds like he's turned a corner
Yep, I think it finally clicked. He is much calmer at home and finally getting a little friendly.
